Aim: to evaluate the association between the presence of dyslipidemia and the findings of coronary angiography in an Iranian population. Methods: this retrospective single center study was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent cardiac catheterization for cardiovascular symptoms in our center between March 2006 and 2007. The patients’ medical records were studied in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics, lipid profile and angiography data. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between dyslipidemia and angiographic findings. Results: a low but positive correlation was reported between having dyslipidemia and a positive angiography (r=0.092; P=0.035). When compared to patients with minimal angiographic coronary disease and single-vessel, dyslipidemia was more prevalent among those with more severe coronary diseases. Conclusion: dyslipidemia, particularly high triglyceride and low HDL levels, is linked with CAD identified by coronary angiography.
