Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is recognized as the chief cause of death in the industrialized world. Epidemiological data have revealed several factors which correlate highly with the incidence of this disease. Some of the most meaningful predictors of CAD are blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and serum cholesterol levels. Recent evidence suggests that in addition to the plasma concentration of cholesterol the manner in which cholesterol is distributed is of importance.
