Background and Objectives: Dyslipidemia is a family of lipoprotein metabolism disorders manifested by elevated total cholesterol (TC), low-density (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), reduced high density (HDL-C) concentrations in the blood.[1] was defined according to criteria National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Hypercholesterolemia declared for participants with either ˃...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Main source(s): Ninguna Introduction The Triglyceride/HDL (Tg/HDL) ratio when > 2 is translated into the presence small, dense lipoproteins (sdLDL), which are more atherogenic and help us measure global lipid risk regardless LDL levels. There possibility measuring sdLDL directly, but it not performed in routine clinical pra...

Atherosclerosis begins in childhood. Protection from atherosclerosis is provided by high-density lipoprotein (HDL), a heterogeneous particle, which includes several subclasses differing in size, density and apolipoprotein content. The objective of this study was to document the relevance of assessing HDL particle size as another feature of dyslipidemia related to the develpment of atheosclerosi...
