The sera and high density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction obtained from donors and patients with coronary heart disease, Functional Class II exercise-induced angina or postinfarction cardiosclerosis were studied for levels of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol (C) and calculated for percentage of HDL cholesterol of total serum cholesterol, C/TG and HDL C/HDL TG ratios. A TG-enriched HDL fraction was detected, which had an unusual structure. Calculation of the percentage of HDL C of serum total cholesterol levels much more revealed lower concentrations of HDL C.
