The main goal of a treatment program is to lower total cholesterol levels, LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. Treatment may cause a slight rise in HDL or good cholesterol in the blood. There are two main ways to control cholesterol; lifestyle changes, and medication. ...
What are the normal cholesterol levels for men and women? A cholesterol test generally determines 4 distinct numbers: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Cholesterol being fat, it is not soluble in water. So it cannot circulate freely in the blood. But, the fact is that nature ...
According to the Adult Treatment Panel III of the Expert Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program recommendations, increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and reduction in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are among the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease [3]. Various results ...
underwent phlebotomy to analyze total cholesterol, direct LDL‐C, HDL‐C, and triglyceride levels that were performed by a central core laboratory. 在研究开始时和在任何患者登记之前,每个参与站点的提供者完成收集提供者和实践特征...
The causal relation between elevated levels of LDL-C and cardiovascular disease has been largely established by experimental and clinical studies. Thus, the reduction of LDL-C levels is a major target for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In the
HDL cholesterol, very low levels of LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular events. N Engl J Med 2007;357:1301-10.Barter P, Gotto AM, LaRosa JC, Maroni J, Szarek M, Grundy SM, Kastelein JJ, Bittner V, Fruchart JC. HDL cholesterol, very low levels of LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular ...
LDL-C 118.4±46.4 mg/dL, and triglycerides 162.1±92.4 mg/dL.#CV risk was estimated by the investigators as "high" or "very high" for 34.3% and 35.4% of patients, respectively, whereas calculated CV risk according to the SCORE chart 1 was "high" or "very high" for 12.6% and 81.8%...

LDL size correlates positively with plasma HDL levels and negatively with plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. The combination of small dense LDL, decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL)- cholesterol and increased TGs is called the athero- genic lipoprotein phenotype [1]. This partially inheritable ...
The association between modified LDL quartiles and being in the upper quintile of ICA IMT was assessed separately for modified LDL after controlling for the covariates included in the linear regression models with the addition of LDL and HDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and ...
