[Blood lipid spectrum in hypertensive patients and normotensive subjects living in the Khanty-Mansiysk region].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate basic parameters of lipid metabolism in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) stage I and II and normotensive subjects living in the far North of the Russian Federation (Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomic Region, Nyagan).


METHODS
Lipid spectrum was studied in 70 males and females with AH stage I and II, 280 normotensive males and females matched for sex, age, time of residence in the North.


RESULTS
Sex-related differences by concentrations of blood lipids become less pronounced with progression of AH while a concentration of atherogenic lipid fractions in AH patients rises. High prevalence of dyslipidemia, primarily hypercholesterolemia, in hypertensive and normotensive subjects is a prognostic factor of coronary atherosclerosis. Paired correlations indirectly confirm the effect of climatic factors on blood lipids.


CONCLUSIONS
It is necessary to correct lipid spectrum and risk factors in hypertensive and normotensive subjects as a prophylactic measure.
