Thirty-two men who had recently had a myocardial infarction were matched individually for age with controls who had no evidence of heart disease. The patients had a significantly lower proportion of linoleic acid and a higher proportion of palmitic acid in their plasma triglyceride fatty acids. Analysis of the composition of red-cell membrane phosphatidyl choline, which reflects long-term dietary fat intake, showed a significantly lower proportion of linoleic acid in the patients.These differences suggest that the type of dietary fat consumed might be an important factor in the genesis of ischaemic heart disease.
32名近期发生心肌梗死的男性患者按年龄与无心脏病证据的对照组进行个体匹配。患者血浆甘油三酯脂肪酸中亚油酸比例显著降低，棕榈酸比例升高。对反映长期膳食脂肪摄入的红细胞膜磷脂酰胆碱组成进行分析，结果显示患者中亚油酸比例显著降低。这些差异表明，所摄入膳食脂肪的类型可能是缺血性心脏病发病的一个重要因素。
