(Print)
ADRs of this drug include elevated liver enzymes, hepatotoxicity, and myalgia
This level of TC on a fasting panel is diagnostic of hyperlipidemia
Optimal level of TGs
Ideal level of HDL for men
The best prevention for the development of atherosclerosis
This class of drugs can interfere with the absorption of Vit D
This molecule makes up 55-65% of VLDL
This lipoprotein is protective against heart disease
Physical exam finding c/w hyperlipidemia
This drug is most effective in increasing HDL
The most effective drug at lowering LDL and is an injectable
First line treatment for hyperlipidemia
This disorder occurs independent of other health problems
Atorvastatin 40mg is considered this type of intensity
The initial lesion of an atherosclerotic plaque
This disorder causes gene mutations for LDL receptors
Gemfibrozil belongs to this class of medications
Chylomicrons are made here
This lipoprotein is made up of 50% cholesterol
Pitavastatin is considered this type of intensities
Hardening of the arteries by way of cholesterol plaques
Target LDL goal for DM pts
Modifiable Risk Factor for atherosclerosis
This disorder occurs due to other health problems
This lipoprotein primarily transports TGs
Although this drug can lower TGs, it does not reduce CV morbidity and mortality
Synthesizes VLDL and HDL from remants of cholesterol
This level of TGs puts a patient at risk for developing pancreatitis
