Lipid spectrum in patients with atherosclerosis of various localizations.

Variants of dyslipidemias were studied in 78 patients with atherosclerosis of various localizations. We also studied HDL content and atherogenic index, which served as a predictor of polyvascular disease. Depending on localization atherosclerosis had specific features. Type II of dyslipidemia was typical for multifocal and coronary atherosclerosis, type IV was typical for brachiocephalic arteries.
