| Popis: | Background Association of hypertension and serum lipid disorders has been demonstrated in previous studies. However, there are no investigations about the behaviour of serum lipids in asymptomatic hypertensive individuals who are first degree relatives of young coronary patients.Objective To determine the degree of lipid disorders in Brazilian hypertensive individuals who are first degree relatives of young coronary patients.Methods There were four study groups, 2 in each arm of the study: A) 846 subjects without any evidence of heart disease or diabetes who were first degree relatives of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery before 55 years-of-age. Of these subjects, 226 individuals were hypertensive (group Hyp F), and 620 were normotensive (group Normo F): B) 910 hospital employees without evidence of cardiovascular disease and family history of coronary artery disease of whom 152 were hypertensive (group Hyp NF), and 758 were normotensive (group Normo NF).
