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