Abstract Hyperlipidemia refers to the elevated levels of lipids and cholesterol in the blood, and is also identified as dyslipidemia, which describe the manifestations of different disorders of lipoprotein metabolism. Although elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) is thought to be the best indicator of atherosclerosis risk, dyslipidemia can also described by elevation of total cholesterol (TC) and/or triglycerides (TG), as well as low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol “HDL”. Decisions about treatment of elevated lipids currently focus on the LDL cholesterol level as well as the cardiovascular risk status of the individual. |
