Multidimensional statistical methods and the diagnostic significance of erythrocyte fatty acids in cardiovascular diseases

Relationship between changes in the levels of some blood erythrocyte fatty acids (FA), parameters of their metabolic transformations, and severity of disorders associated with cardiac disease is analyzed. The data were processed using analysis of dispersions and correlations. High diagnostic significance of blood erythrocyte FA in the development of heart diseases has been confirmed. The most informative tests were defined, including measurements of individual FS and their quantitative ratios reflecting disorders in FA w3 and w6 metabolic transformations.
