Abstract
Coronary artery calcinosis was assessed via multispiral computer tomography using Agatston score and blood lipid profiles were determined in persons engaged in elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. Study group included 65 men aged 52-78 years. In this group, calcification of coronary arteries was associated with increased levels of total cholesterol, cholesterol of low density lipoproteins, an atherogenic index, decreased level of high density lipoproteins. The interrelation was revealed between calcinosis score and total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins and calcinosis score.
