Lipid levels in high density lipoprotein subfractions in smokers with peripheral vascular disease.
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.
