The results of ergometric examination of 316 patients with chronic coronary insufficiency and various types of hyperlipoproteinemia have shown a clear diminution of physical working capacity in patients with hyperlipidemia as compared to patients with hyperlipidemia as compared to patients in whom the lipid content is within normal values. Working capacity was most diminished in IIa and particularly IIb types of hyperlipoproteinemia; in type IV physical working capacity was not reduced. The effect of hyperlipoproteinemia is most significant in the mildest degree of coronary insufficiency, but reduces or vanishes completely with increasing severity of the disease. An inverse relationship has been established between the value of physical working capacity and the level of cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins and a direct relationship in regard to NEFA concentration. Ergometry in patients with type II hyperlipoproteinemia showed that as compared to patients with normolipemia and type IV hyperlipoproteinemia an equal degree in the severity of the disease, the frequency and marked character of changes on the ECG increase; this evidences a more marked transitory myocardial ischemia.
