Abstract：
:Elevated levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] have been associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), and higher levels of Lp(a) are associated with lesions of significantly greater severity. We have examined Lp(a), total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in patients with IHD including those with normal coronary arteries with vasospastic angina. The study population consisted of 206 patients (166 males and 40 females) who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography for known IHD. Twenty-eight patients had effort angina, 36 rest angina, 8 unstable angina and 134 old myocardial infarction. IHD patients were categorized as zero vessel disease (0VD), single vessel disease (SVD) and multi-vessel disease (MVD). To investigate the relationship between atherosclerosis and IHD, these patients were further divided into 3 groups based on angiographic findings. Eighteen patients had entirely normal coronary arteries (normal group), 24 discretely diseased coronary arteries (discrete group) and 80 diffusely diseased coronaries (diffuse group). The results were compared with those obtained from 50 healthy individuals. Lp(a) levels for IHD patients (12.4 mg/dl) were significantly higher than those of controls (7.1 mg/dl, p < 0.05). However, there were no statistical differences between 0VD (13.1 mg/dl) and MVD (12.8 mg/dl). Similarly, no statistical differences of Lp(a) values were found among the normal group (13.3 mg/dl), discrete group (12.0 mg/dl) and diffuse group (12.9 mg/dl). Mean levels of HDL-C in 0VD (51.3 +/- 13.5 mg/dl) were significantly higher than those of SVD (42.9 +/- 11.5 mg/dl, p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between controls (59.5 +/- 15.3 mg/dl) and 0VD (51.3 +/- 13.5 mg/dl).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
