[Changes in the serum lipid levels in males with ischemic heart disease under the effect of diets with various cholesterol and fat contents].
In the treatment of hyperlipoproteinaemia the diet still has a primary importance. The authors have investigated the effect of different fat, cholesterol and unsaturated/saturated fatty acid content diets on the lipid levels of men suffering from coronary heart disease during 3 weeks long hospital treatment in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department. On a diet containing daily 65 g fat, 230 mg cholesterol with a 1.23 unsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio the total cholesterol level of 66 patients showed a 5.8% decrease (P < 0.05). The 1% decrease of triglyceride, the 3.9% decrease of HDL-cholesterol, the 7.3% decrease of LDL-cholesterol levels were not significant. There was a positive correlation between the cholesterol level at the beginning and the degree of its change (0.7043): the patients with 6.5 mmol/l or less cholesterol level at the entry in the study showed a 2.8% decrease in serum cholesterol level, the patients with more than 6.5 mmol/l 8.1%. On a diet containing daily 105 g fat, 420 mg cholesterol, with a 0.7 unsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio the triglyceride level showed a 20.6%, the total cholesterol 0.5% increase, at the same hand the HDL-cholesterol 1.1%, the LDL-cholesterol 5.1% decrease (only the change of triglyceride level was significant). The results emphasise the strong relation between diet and level of serum lipids.
