Relationship between severity of coronary arterial lesion and serum lipids in smokers
Objective To study the relationship between severity of coronary arterial lesion and serum lipids in smokers. Methods Totally 231 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were basically matched to the materials were studied retrospectively. All patients were divided into two groups which matched roughly by data: smoking group (n=143), non-smoking group (n=88) and four subgroups according to the number of coronary artery damage: normal control subgroup, single vessel damage subgroup, double vessels damage subgroup and three vessels damage subgroup. The relationship between severity of coronary arterial lesion and serum lipids in smokers and non-smokers was analyzed. Results Compared with smokers, non-smokers had higher HOL C levels(P<0. 05) and lighter degree of coronary lesions)P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the corresponding subgroups in smokers, HDL C and LDL C/HDL C levels were higher than subgroups in non-smokers and the differences were significant. Conclusions Smokers have a higher incidence of dyslipidemia and more severe coronary artery stenosis.
