The proportion of apoprotein-AI (apo-AI) phospholipids (PL) and HDLP phospholipid spectrum were determined in addition to principal coronary risk factors; cholesterol (CS), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDLP) CS, in high-risk children, whose parents had survived myocardial infarction at a young age, and also in children with vegetovascular dystonia and a control group. It is demonstrated that children with relatively low percentage of lecithin in HDLP, in the absence of changes in CS, TG, apo-B and apo-AI, and HDLP CS, could be found in all the examined groups, and were particularly numerous in the high-risk group. Correlations coefficients for the HDLP PL percentage in the father-child, mother-child and father-mother pairs were estimated, revealing a positive correlation with respect to lecithin in these pairs, an evidence of the contribution of the general familial environment to the variability of the parameter in question in the examined groups. Different correlations were demonstrated between lecithin/sphingomyelin and lecithin/kephalin ratios in boys and girls from the control and high-risk groups.

An investigation of children with aggravated heredity (coronary disease), and those with vegetovascular dystonia whose parents had no clinically apparent coronary disease demonstrated unidirectional shifts in the lipoprotein system of the two samples as compared to the controls: increased cholesterol levels in low-density lipoproteins and lowered cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins and apoprotein A1. In children with aggravated heredity, these changes are also associated with vegetovascular dystonia, whereas in the absence of the latter they are not apparent or minimal. At the same time, certain differences in cholesterol distribution over lipoprotein fractions and protein/lipid ratios suggest that mechanisms of changes are not identical in children with aggravated heredity and those free from it.
