Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the association of serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with angina pectoris.Methods: A total of 110 patients (60 males and 50 females) with angina pectoris aged (55±5) years and 80 healthy controls (43 males and37 females) aged (45±4) years were enrolled in this case-control study from the clinic of Al Yarmouk Hospital. 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.
