In a previous investigation a normal lipoprotein pattern was demonstrated in 51% of 85 men during the first three months after myocardial infarction. Hyper‐ β ‐lipoproteinemia (type II pattern) was found in 22% and hyper‐pre‐ β ‐lipoproteinemia (type IV) in 27%. In a follow‐up study approximately 25 months after the myocardial infarction we found a normal lipoprotein pattern in 43%, hyper‐ β ‐lipoproteinemia in 31% and hyper‐pre‐ β ‐lipoproteinemia in 26% of 58 men. During the observation period there has been a significant elevation of the serum cholesterol levels in all groups and of the triglyceride level in type IV patients.
