title: Lipid levels in high density lipoprotein subfractions in smokers with peripheral vascular disease.
abstract: No significant difference in HDL cholesterol was found between smokers with PVD and corresponding controls. The ratio of HDL cholesterol to the sum of (VLDL + LDL) cholesterol was reduced in patients with PVD. Patients with PVD had significantly highly serum triglyceride levels. A slightly significant difference could be demonstrated for serum cholesterol and serum phospholipids concentrations in smoking patients with PVD.
