Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a process that begins in children and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults. The pathologic findings include lipid deposits and inflammation in the arterial wall. Strong correlations between CVD risk factors, including dyslipidemias in childhood, have ...
which impair the hydrolysis of triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), leading to high triglyceride levels and pancreatitis. Familial combined hyperlipidemia is caused by the overproduction of apo B-containing lipoproteins, such as VLDL and LDL, by the liver, leading...
Normal values for children and definition of dyslipidemia:Lipid values in children vary by age and gender. As per the Expert panel on integrated guidelines for cardiovascular health and risk reduction in children and adolescents, here is a table listing normal, acceptable, and borderline values for ...

In addition to fasting dyslipidemia, postprandial hyperlipidemia with increases in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is also associated with ASCVD [109]. Similar to fasting dyslipidemia, accumulation of postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is driven by overproduction and/or decreased catabolism of these par...
Controls were selected from primary care clinics at Rhode Island Hospital and South Shore Medical Center and were confirmed to not have a history of GA and skin diseases associated with hyperlipidemia, such as necrobiosis lipoidica. The records of patients serving as controls were matched to cases...
The MetS definition criteria used in this study comply with that proposed by the International Diabetes Federation with appropriate WC adjustments for Asians.39 In short, MetS is diagnosed in the presence of obesity, dyslipidemia and impaired glucose control are gender dependent.30 Central obesity is...
Definition of combined dyslipidemia (CD) Mixed dyslipidemia or CD is qualitatively defined as an impairment of lipid metabolism characterized by high levels of TG carried within very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low levels of HDL and higher amount of ...
