| Abstract: | The anomalous lipemic values are considered as a risk factor in coronarial pathology. We are separately studying different lipemic factors, Lp(a) in the present paper. May be our 38 clinical cases are still a too small number to demonstrate any correlation between Lp(a) haematic content and arterial pathology, and we will continue this study in the evolution of the pathology, eventually until the infarctus. For the moment, we established the significance of correlation between two methods in two laboratories of ours (in Pavia, Italy, and in Lisboa, Portugal). Correlation is more than 0.9. Assays were done on the same air mailed samples. |
