Articles On Dyslipidemia

 Dyslipidemia is an abnormal level of cholesterol and other lipids, also called fats, in the blood. Lipids (fats) are important for life. They are important component of the living cells. However, high levels can increase your risk of getting a heart attack or heart disease.  The most common goals are:   Total cholesterol must be below 200 mg/dL HDL cholesterol for man should be   above 40 mg/dL and for Women - above 50 mg/dL LDL cholesterol should be below 100 mg/dL and below 70 mg/dL for people with diabetes or heart disease. Triglycerides should be  below 150 mg/dL Ø  The most common types of high cholesterol are High level of low density lipoproteins cholesterol, Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol, Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol, High levels of triglycerides. When LDL cholesterol levels are high, fatty deposits (called plaques) can build up in the arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart throughout the body. Over time, plaques narrow the arteries, producing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This can cause heart disease, heart attack, peripheral artery disease (reduced blood flow in the limbs, usually the legs), or stroke. Low levels of HDL and high levels of triglycerides can also increase fat build-up in the arteries. High levels of HDL cholesterol, however, protect the heart by helping to remove the build-up of LDL from the arteries.
