Foram selecionados 231 indivíduos, no período de abril de 1997 a janeiro de 1998, divididos em dois grupos controle com 88 indivíduos e 143 pacientes com doença arterial coronária. Os pacientes foram subdivididos em dois grupos: 59 com angina estável e 84 com IAM. Foram analisadas as características clínicas, fatores de risco, pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, perfil lipídico, glicemia, tabagismo, apoliproteína Al, apoliproteína B, lipoproteína (a), fibrinogênio, ácido úrico e hemograma completo. Análise multivariada mostrou que a idade, o HDL-colesterol, leucócitos e monócitos foram fatores de risco independentes para doença arterial coronária. / Between april 1997 and january 1998, 231 patients were selected and divided into two groups: control group with 88 patients and 143 patients with coronary artery disease. The latter group was then divided into two subgroups: 59 patients with stable angina and 84 patients with AMI. Clinical characteristics, risk factors, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid profile, glycemia, smoking, apoliprotein Al, apoliprotein B, lipoprotein(a), fibrinogen, uric acid and total blood cell count were analyzed. Multivariate analysis showed age, HDL-cholesterol, leukocytes and monocytes as independent risk factors for coronay heart disease.
