Lipoproteins and premature coronary heart disease

Incidence of different lipid abnormalities in men with premature coronary disease (<60 years of age). Patients with more than one disturbance (eg, low HDL plus hypertriglyceridemia) are noted in the combined group. Only 12.5 percent of subjects were normal in this study versus 58.5 percent of age-matched controls without coronary disease.
