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