A total of 227 patients with ischaemic heart disease were examined. Hypercholesterolemia was revealed in 72 percent, hypertriglyceridemia--in 48 percent, and various types of hyperlipoproteinemia--in 82 percent. Type II hyperlipoproteinemia was seen most often (59 percent), type IV in 21 percent. Hyperlipoproteinemia of Type IV was found in men twice as often as in women (29 and 13 percent respectively). Women had normal levels of blood serum lipoproteins 1.5 times more often. No spontaneous normalization of hyperlopoproteinemia was noted.
