[Analysis of lipid plasma spectrum and basic parameters of red cell membranes in patients with metabolic syndrome and ischemic heart disease].

Specific features of lipid plasma spectrum and principal parameters of red cell membranes are characterized in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic stable ischemic heart disease (IHD). 109 patients with metabolic syndrome (diabetes mellitus type 2, arterial hypertension, abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia) were divided into 2 groups: with and without IHD. MS patients with IHD had marked defects of lipid metabolism with hypercholesterolemia, high levels of triglycerides, LDLP cholesterol, low level of HDLP cholesterol. Lipid plasma spectrum in MS patients with IHD vs those without coronary atherosclerosis was characterized by a significantly lower level of apo A1. In red cell membranes these patients had lower fractions of esterified cholesterol combined with high intensity of lipid peroxidation.
