ABSTRACT
Objective: To study relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and dyslipidemia. Methods: A total of 302 CHD patients diagnosed by coronary angiography were enrolled as CHD group, and 218 healthy subjects without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by health examination were regard as healthy control group. Relative data were collected and levels of blood triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured and compared between two groups. Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant increase in levels of blood TC [(4.03±0.97) mmol/L vs. (4.62±1.06) mmol/L] and LDL-C[(2.51±0.86) mmol/L vs. (3.76±1.07) mmol/L] in CHD group, P<0.01 both. Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated LDL-C level was an independent risk factor for occurrence of CHD (OR=2.608, 95%CI = 1.268-5.366, P=0.009). Conclusions: The results show that levels of TC and LDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease are significantly higher than those of healthy control group. Elevated LDL level may be an independent risk factor for occurrence of coronary heart disease.
