Proposed guidelines for hypertriglyceridemia in Japan with non-HDL cholesterol as the second target.

چکیده
The Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) guidelines for the prevention of atherosclerotic diseases, proposing management for LDL cholesterol as the primary target, have successfully contributed to the prevention of cardiovascular events; however, recently, the impact of hypertriglyceridemia as an additional cardiovascular risk has become understood, especially in light of the rise in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes in the Japanese population. Rather than waiting to obtain conclusive domestic data confirming that hypertriglyceridemia is a cardiovascular risk factor and that its management is efficacious, we propose guidelines for hypertriglyceridemia using non-HDL cholesterol as a second target.

Implications of the obesity epidemic for lipid-lowering therapy: Non-HDL cholesterol should replace LDL cholesterol as the primary therapeutic target
Obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes are conditions with increasing prevalence around the world. Cardiovascular risk in diabetics is often so high as to overlap with event rates observed in those with established coronary disease and this has lead to diabetes being classified as a coronary risk equivalent. However, despite the elevated risk of cardiovascular events associated with diabetes ...

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) released initial guidelines in 1988 (ATP I), followed by ATP II in 1993 and ATP III in 2001. In ATP I and II, treatment recommendations and goals of therapy for secondary prevention are similar. However, ATP III established a more aggressive approach for both secondary prevention and higher risk primary-prevention pat...

It is well known that people with type 2 diabetes have elevated cardiovascular risk. Adults with diabetes have a two to four times higher risk of experiencing cardiovascular events than adults without diabetes,1,2 and their relative risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is about twice as high.3 Many factors account for increased CVD risk in diabetes, but lipid abnormalities are major ...

Abstract Lipoprotein-related risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be adequately predicted in subjects with elevated total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-)cholesterol using the available guidelines. However, individuals with dyslipidemia can have normal total- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Many statin-treated patients remain at high residual risk of CVD despite achieving ...

BACKGROUND Elevated triglycerides (TGs) are a common lipid disorder in the US and are associated with comorbidities such as pancreatitis, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. TGs are generally elevated in postmenopausal women compared with premenopausal women. Meta-analysis has shown that elevated TGs are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). OBJECTIV...
