Significance of serum lipid measurement in forecasting coronary artery diseases

Aim: To evaluate the clinical significance of measuring seerum lipid levels for coronary artery diseases for forecasting. Methods: The concentrations of serum total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), apolipoprotein AI (APOAI ), apolipoprotein B(APOB), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a) ] in 82 cases with coronary artery diseases were measured. Results: Serum concentrations of all APOAI, APOB, TC, TG, HDL and Lp(a) were differed between coronary artery diseases and healthy control growp (P 0. 01 - P 0. 01), the abnormal rates of APOAI, APOB and Lp(a) were significantly higher (57/82, 59/82, 54/82, respectively). Conclusion: Mesurement of serum lipid concentration was evaluable for forecasting coronary artery diseases.
