“…In Sweden Hellstrom (8) and Carlson and Wahlberg (3), and in Great Britain Rifkind et al (19), have investigated men with ischaemic cardiac disease. The latter authors also investigated a control group.…”

“…factor in the development of ischaemic cardiac disease (1, 2, 4, 17, 18, 19, 22), the significance of a slight increase of pre-,!I-lipoprotein and thus triglycerides is more uncertain. However, several investigations indicate an increased incidence of ischaernic cardiac disease with increasing triglyceride concentration, especially in the younger age groups ( I , 2, 3,6,7,8,9,11,12,17,18,19). We found a higher mean age of type IV than type I1 men.…”

Abstract. Normal serum lipids (cholesterol < 325 rag/ 100 ml, 8.4 mmol/1, and triglycerides < 150 mg/100 ml, 1.85 mmol/1) were demonstrated during stay in hospital and after three months in 51% of 85 men and 35% of 20 women who survived their first myocardial infarction. The hyperlipoproteinaemia was moderate in most of the others. Hyper‐β‐lipoproteinaemia (type II pattern) was found in 22% and hyper‐pre‐β‐lipoproteinameia (type IV) in 27% of the men. The patients, especially those with type IV, had a lower lipid concentration during the acute phase of the infarction than after three months. Glucose tolerance was examined in the type IV patients and found to be slightly impaired in 68% of the men.

“…The relation between coronary atherosclerosis and hyperlipidaemia has been investigated by several authors. Particular interest has been shown in the relationship to hypercholesterolaemia (4, 16), but during recent years hypertriglyceridaemia has been found to be closely correlated with ischaemic heart disease (1, 7, 12, 19,21,28).…”

Abstract. One hundred and eight patients with myocardial infarction have been investigated 1–1 1/2 year after the acute attack. As a control group 44 coaeval hospital patients with no known ischaemic heart disease and 65 healthy young subjects were examined. Significantly higher values were found for plasma total lipid, triglyceride, cholesterol, and phospholipids in the coronary patient group as compared with the coaeval hospital control group, and in the last mentioned group as compared with the young controls. Paper electrophoretic lipoprotein estimations were carried out in all cases. 15.9% of the hospital control group and 42.6% of the coronary patient group had Type II hyperlipoproteinaemia. Hyperlipoproteinaemia with increased pre‐β‐fraction was found in 34.1% and 35.2% respectively of the same groups. Analyses of the occurrence of pre‐β‐lipoprotein fractions in all three groups seem to suggest the existence of two different populations according to the metabolism of endogenous triglycerides. We think that this fact must be taken into consideration in future dietetic trials with the aim of preventing ischaemic heart disease.
