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