Abstract:

Total Cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) was measured in a group of Myocardial Infarction patients and controls. The mean TC was 206 ± 4.49 SEM in the patient group and 209.7 ± 3.54 SEM in the control group. In patients less than 40 years of age there was a statistical difference between the TC of the two groups at the .01 level the values being 225 and 207.5; also there was a difference in the HDL-C values but it did not reach statistical significance. Lipoproteins may not be a major contributory factor to coronary artery disease in the population or may be operative at a lower level.
