Abstract: Objective　 To investigate the relationship between of serum bilirubin concentrations and risk of coronary heart drsease (CHD). Methods　 Serum bilirubin concentrations were determined in 12 cases with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)、37 cases with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and 30 cases with UAP with arrhythmia. Results　 The serum total bilirubin(TB)、direct bilirubin(DB)、indirect bilirubin(IB) concentrations were lower in the three study groups of CHD than in the controls. There was significant difference between the patients with CHD and the controls. However, there was no significant difference among the three study groups of CHD. Conclusion　 Serum bilirubin concentrations was inversely and statistically significantly related to risk of CHD.
