Effect of serum total bilirubin and lipids in elderly patients with coronary heart disease

Objective To explore the variation of concentration of serum total bilirubin (TB)and lipids in coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods 155 elderly patients were ran- domly divided into two groups:CHD group(n=97)and normal group(n=48).The levels of bil- imbin and lipids in serum were measured and compared.Results The concentration of TB in serum in CHD group was significant lower than that in normal group(P0.05).The serum trig- lyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)levels in the CHD group were obvious higher than in the normal group(P0.05);high-density lipopretein-cholesterol(HDL-C)is obviously increased in CHD group(P0.05);There is no difference of cholesterol(TC)and apo- lipoprotein B(ApoB),lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)],apolipoprotein AI(ApoAI)between two groups(P 0.05).Conclusions The low concentration of TB in serum might be a risk factor for old- aged CHD patients.
