AI Article Synopsis
- The chapter examines the link between high triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases, citing both national and international study data.
- It reviews cohort studies that establish a connection between hypertriglyceridemia and increased cardiovascular risk.
- Lastly, it discusses recent clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews that demonstrate how lowering triglyceride levels can help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
Article Abstract
Based on the most recent scientific evidence, in this chapter we describe the relation of levels of triglycerides and risk of cardiovascular diseases. Particularly, we describe the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia based on studies published at national and international reports; the relation between hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular diseases according to results of cohort studies; and finally, we describe the most recent evidence from clinical trials, meta-analysis and systematic reviews that have shown data on the efficacy of lowering triglyceride levels and reducing cardiovascular diseases.
