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