Postprandial lipemia is an exaggerated increase of the triglyceride concentrations in plasma as consequence of the increase in the time of residence of the cholesterol transporting lipoproteins, specially of triglyceride rich lipoproteins by effects of alterations in its metabolism. The objective of the present work was to demonstrate the variations of the postprandial lipidic profile, after a rich fat food intake, and its relation with the BMI, familiar and personal history and the coronary arterial disease in this response, in 190 patients was made the basal lipidic profile (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C) after 14 hours of fast, and them intake a food with 100 grams of fat, and a blood sample was take after 6 and 8 hours respectively. We found that the intolerants and lipemics individuals correlate positively with a BMI > 25, HBP, personal and familiar history for coronary arterial disease. The test of fat tolerance is a simple and easy study to make and a good method for detects patients of high risk for cardiovascular disease.
