title: Relationship between deficiency of thymus--dependent immune system factors and lipoprotein metabolism disturbances in patients with ischaemic heart disease.
abstract: Using immunological and biochemical methods, the existence was proved of a relationship between atherogenous types of hyperlipoproteinaemia and decrease of the functional activity of the T-component of the immune system in patients with ischaemic heart disease. In IHD patients without lipid metabolism disturbances the indicators of the functional activity of the thymus-dependent factor of the immune system were reduced to a much lesser extent. The results stress the role of thymus-dependent factors and lipids in the development of ischaemic heart disease.
