Abstract

Introduction. Lipid metabolism disorders are one of the most important factors contributing significantly to the probability of developing cardiovascular diseases, death from coronary heart disease and mortality of the population. Aim. To identify the features of anamnestic, clinical and laboratory parameters in female patients of the lipid cabinet and to determine the frequency of detection of familial hypercholesterolemia in them. Material and methods. The study included 777 female patients of the outpatient appointment of a doctor of the lipid cabinet. The examination of patients with dyslipidemia included an examination by a cardiologist-lipidologist (with the calculation of the risk of cardiovascular complications on the Systemic COronary Risk Evaluation scale, the probability of familial hypercholesterolemia on the British Simon Broom scale and the criteria of the Dutch lipid clinics. Results and discussion. The total number of 777 patients were 63% of the total number of patients in the lipid cabinet; aged 19-90 years old, average age 58.49±9.48. The average level of total cholesterol was 7.74±1.98 mmol/l, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 4.84±1.4 mmol/l, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 1.46±0.44 mmol/l, triglycerides 1.61±1.42 mmol/l, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 6.32±1.97 mmol/l. In 23% of patients, lipid metabolism disorders are secondary. Atherosclerosis of brachiocephalic arteries was diagnosed in 68.4% of patients, hypertension was in 41.4%. 15.1% of patients were diagnosed with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Conclusions. The most significant for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in women with lipid metabolism disorders were body mass index, burdened family history, duration of menopause and level of physical activity. Smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, external signs of dyslipidemia were not associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
