Context Current guidelines for cardiovascular risk detection are controversial with regard to the clinical utility of different lipid measures, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C), lipid ratios, apolipoproteins, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Objective To directly compare the clinical...
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C, non–HDL-C, apolipoproteins A-I and B100, high-sensitivity CRP, and the ratios of total cholesterol to HDL-C, LDL-C to HDL-C, apolipoprotein B100 to apolipoprotein A-I, and apolipoprotein B100 to HDL-C as predictors of future cardiova...
High-density lipoprotein (HDL): This is often referred to as "good" cholesterol as it absorbs excess cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver to be flushed from the body. As a general rule, you want more HDL to lower your risk for heart disease and stroke. The combina...
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) always underestimates the true cholesterol burden in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to compare LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in the identificat
HDL-C, LDL-C to HDL-C, apolipoprotein B100 to apolipoproteinA-I, and apolipoprotein B100 to HDL-C as predictors of future cardiovascularevents in women.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsProspective cohort study of 15 632 initially healthy US women aged45 years or older (interquartile range, ...
Non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-c/HDL-c) ratio is a feasible predictor for coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. Patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have an increased risk of developing cardiova
HDL cholesterol- the cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins; the `good' cholesterol; a high level in the blood is thought to lower the risk of coronary artery disease LDL cholesterol- the cholesterol in low-density lipoproteins; the `bad' cholesterol; a high level in the blood is thought to...
The chart here displays 5 cholesterol readings: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides and also VLDL cholesterol. It also displays the healthy range, along with risk zones pertaining to each one. To sum up, the recommended measurements for the total cholesterol are below 200. As for triglyce...
[0] cholesterol <70 mg/dL or non-HDL cholesterol <100 mg/dL), higher-quality diet (y/n; defined as consuming a diet with aHEI-2010 score in the highest quartile [≥51.5; score range, 0-100]), high–saturated fat diet (y/n; defined as percent of energy consumed from saturated fat...
Overview The complete occlusion of a coronary artery or a cerebral artery is virtually always caused by a combination of atheromatous obstruction of the artery and subsequent rupture of the plaque ofatheromawith thrombus formation on the ruptured material – thus, the term atherothrombosis (Atheroscleros...
