Key result
Normal serum lipids were present in 51% of men and 35% of women surviving their first myocardial infarction, while type II and type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia were found in 22% and 27% of men.
Observational (n=105)
Lipid concentrations are lower during the acute phase of myocardial infarction compared to three months later, indicating that acute lipid measurements may underestimate baseline levels.
Acute lipid measurements post-MI may underestimate baseline levels; this Level 3 cohort study leaves open optimal timing for post-MI lipid assessment.
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.

Enger et al. (1970) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=105). Serum lipoprotein pattern was evaluated on Prevalence of normal serum lipids and hyperlipoproteinaemia patterns. Normal serum lipids were present in 51% of men and 35% of women surviving their first myocardial infarction, while type II and type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia were found in 22% and 27% of men.
