Abstract
Male patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) had significantly lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-Ch) levels than their corresponding controls, while no significant difference could be demonstrated for female patients with PVD. No significant difference of HDL-Ch was found between women who used oral contraception and those who did not.
