Özet
Background/Aim: The objective of our study was to analyze the lipid profile and some risk factors of atherosclerosis such as oxidized-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), small dense LDL (sd LDL) in the offspring of patients with premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Population and Methods: Children whose parents had early onset CHD were matched with age and sex pairs. Study and controls were analyzed for lipid levels, apolipoproteins (Apo- A,B,E), ox-LDL, sd LDL and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]. The data were evaluated with SPSS using "Student t and Mann-Whitney U" tests. Results: The study group children (n: 43) had higher LDL, Lp(a) and ox-LDL levels, ratios of TC/HDL, Apo-B/A, LDL/HDL and ox-LDL/HDL (p<0.05) than control group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that dyslipidemia and increased LDL, Lp(a) and ox-LDL levels are common in the offspring of patients with early onset CHD and account largely for their familial predisposition for CHD.
