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 ...
For adults with diabetes, it has been recommended that the levels of triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol, be measured once a year. Hyperlipidemia It is a medical term for abnormally high levels of fats in the blood. It is the most common form of dyslipidemia (that also includes ...

Atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) is a clinical disorder that, in my opinion, is far too often overlooked. It depicts a blood lipid pattern characterized by elevated triglycerides (TG) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Hence, people with AD have an elevated TG/HDL-C...

Persons with a marked increase in serum levels of cholesterol to >350 mg/dL (9 mmol/L) represent a very small group of individuals in the population at very high risk for developing atherosclerotic coronary disease. Less than 20 % of these individuals (0.1 % of the population) have a gene...
Given the very low usage of cholesterol-lowering medication and high morbidity of CVD in China, investigating the status of dyslipidemia in the country is an important undertaking. The criteria for dyslipidemia have been modified several times over the last 20 years; thus, reanalyzing national ...
Age-specific prevalence of high triglycerides, high total cholesterol, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and dyslipidemia among adults aged ≥ 35 years in Southwestern China. Full size image
Reference values for the lipid parameters were as follows: Triglycerides (TGs) < 1.7 mmol/L19, total cholesterol (TC) < 5.2 mmol/L, LDL < 3.4 for both genders; HDL > 1.3 mmol/L for women and > 1mmo/L for men20. Participants were categorized as positive for dy...
Background Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is an anti-atherogenic process by which cholesterol is effluxed from peripheral tissues by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and returned to the liver for excretion into the bile and faeces. Dyslipidemia is thought to impair RCT through higher triglyceride...
