[Drug treatment of hyperlipemia in middle-aged and old persons with ischemic heart disease].

The examination was conducted in 1048 patients with the ischaemic heart disease. Both males, and females displayed most frequently Type II hyperlipidemia. Type IV was more frequent in males, than in females. The incidence of Types IIa and IIb depended on the stage of coronary atherosclerosis, the age and sex of the patients. The concomitant diseases were found to influence the incidence of hyperlipidemia. Among the tested drugs administered in a course of therapy of 4 weeks atromidine proved to be most effective for the examined types of hyperlipidemia (IIa, IIb, IV). Hyperlipidemia relapsed in 1/3 of the patients within 1 year.
