Lipid and apoprotein levels in myocardial infarction survivors. A case-control study.
Serum cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and the apoproteins A1 and B were determined in 20 males survivors of myocardial infarction and in 20 healthy age and sex matched controls. HDL-C, HDL-C/TC and apo B/apo A1 were significantly different between the two groups. In a multivariate statistical analysis 85% of all subjects were correctly classified by using the HDL-C/TC and the apo B/apo A1 ratio. This study indicates that the apoproteins quantification yield complementary information in discriminating young male myocardial infarct survivors from normal controls.
