Coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated by selective coronary cine angiography in 94 White, 59 Indian and 17 Black patients, and correlated with plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels and glucose tolerance. CAD was found in 94%, 97% and 82%, and hypercholesterolaemia in 68%, 61% and 50% of the Whites, Indians and Blacks respectively. In the White group, cholesterol levels correlated with both frequency and severity of CAD. Hypertriglyceridaemia occurred in 44% of the White, 47% of the Indian, and 23% of the Black group, but did not correlate with the extent of CAD in any. Diabetes was detected in 56% of the Whites and 47% of the Indians, but was absent in all the Blacks tested. Hypercholesterolaemia appeared to be the only risk factor common to all racial groups.
对94名白人、59名印度人和17名黑人患者进行选择性冠状动脉造影，以研究冠状动脉疾病（CAD），并将其与血浆胆固醇、甘油三酯水平及葡萄糖耐量进行关联分析。白人、印度人和黑人中CAD的检出率分别为94%、97%和82%，高胆固醇血症的发生率分别为68%、61%和50%。在白人组中，胆固醇水平与CAD的发生频率和严重程度均相关。高甘油三酯血症在白人组中的发生率为44%，在印度人组中为47%，在黑人组中为23%，但在任何一组中均与CAD的严重程度无关。白人组中56%以及印度人组中47%检测出糖尿病，但所有接受检测的黑人中均未发现糖尿病。高胆固醇血症似乎是所有种族共有的唯一风险因素。
