Serum lipids, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)],apolipoprotein-A1, and apolipoprotein-B levels were measured and studied.Results: The results of this study showed that increased odds of angina pectoris were associated with increased serum levels of Lp(a) more thanserum levels of apolipoprotein-B.Conclusions: Analysis of Lp(a) may be an important determinant of cardiovascular disease diagnosis.Keywords: Lipoprotein(a), Apolipoprotein-A1, Apo lipoprotein-B, Angina pectoris.
