Serum lipids, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)],<br />apolipoprotein-A1, and apolipoprotein-B levels were measured and studied.<br />Results: The results of this study showed that increased odds of angina pectoris were associated with increased serum levels of Lp(a) more than<br />serum levels of apolipoprotein-B.<br />Conclusions: Analysis of Lp(a) may be an important determinant of cardiovascular disease diagnosis.<br />Keywords: Lipoprotein(a), Apolipoprotein-A1, Apo lipoprotein-B, Angina pectoris.</p> ER -
