(Print)
This drug is most effective in increasing HDL
The initial lesion of an atherosclerotic plaque
Chylomicrons are made here
Optimal level of TGs
This disorder causes gene mutations for LDL receptors
This disorder occurs due to other health problems
This disorder occurs independent of other health problems
This level of TGs puts a patient at risk for developing pancreatitis
Physical exam finding c/w hyperlipidemia
This lipoprotein primarily transports TGs
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
Synthesizes VLDL and HDL from remants of cholesterol
The best prevention for the development of atherosclerosis
Modifiable Risk Factor for atherosclerosis
This lipoprotein is made up of 50% cholesterol
Gemfibrozil belongs to this class of medications
Target LDL goal for DM pts
The most effective drug at lowering LDL and is an injectable
This lipoprotein is protective against heart disease
This molecule makes up 55-65% of VLDL
Atorvastatin 40mg is considered this type of intensity
This level of TC on a fasting panel is diagnostic of hyperlipidemia
ADRs of this drug include elevated liver enzymes, hepatotoxicity, and myalgia
Hardening of the arteries by way of cholesterol plaques
First line treatment for hyperlipidemia
Ideal level of HDL for men
Pitavastatin is considered this type of intensities
