[Electrocardiographic data on ischemic heart disease in hyperlipoproteinemia patients]

The electrocardiograms (ECG) were studied according to Minnesota Code: 103 patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP)--49 with type IIA--49, IIB--37 and type IV--17. A high incidence was established of the patients with positive--17.48 per cent and probable--22.34 per cent ECG data on IHD. Type IIB is most frequent among the patients with IHD, followed by HLP type IIA and IV. The average age of the patients with positive IHD data was 42.2 and of the probable--49.9 years. Total cholesterol and atherogenic index is significantly higher in the patients with a past history of myocardial infarction as compared with those with probable ECG data on IHD.
