Triglycerides or triacylglcerol is a lipid formed by esterfication of three fatty acids to a glycerol molecule it is a type of fat found in the blood. When it comes to dietary discussions the term fat usually is used to substitute for triacylglycerol. The normal triglyceride level in the blood is <150mg/dl, people with Hypertiglyceridemia
Hyperlipidemia is a condition that shows no symptoms and can only be diagnosed through blood tests. The treatment is aimed at lowering the LDL cholesterol, which is bad cholesterol. A variety of medications are used in the treatment including statin drugs, fibrates and bile acid sequestrants. Overall the condition is treatable with the right lifestyle modifications and overall healthy diet.

Coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease affects 16.8 million people in the United States and causes more than 607,000 deaths annually (Lemone, chap.30). It is caused by atherosclerosis which is the accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries causing impaired blood flow to the myocardium.

There are many risk factors associated with CAD like
include medications to lower your blood pressure, such as diuretics, angiogenesis-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or beta blockers; blood thinning medications, such as daily aspirin therapy; or cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins or fibrates”(Mayo Clinic). These medications have been successful in their attempts to lower these risk factors and have been helpful when underlying genetic conditions and age become a factor; however, when these problems stem from au unhealthy lifestyle it
regular diet and exercise and various bariatric surgeries. Long range BMI target/goal is less than 25. If life style change is not enough than drugs that help lower cholesterol level high blood pressure and blood sugar can be used such as statins, fibrates or nicotinic acid. 4Other things that can be done include trying to fight the insulin resistance by starting thiazolidinediones. Also, treating the different risk factors like elevated blood pressure, prothrombotic and proinflammatory state independently
Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), Very LDLC (VLDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) with a subsequent decrease in the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the systemic circulation.(1)Consumption of high fat or fructose diet, lifestyle modification,age, genetics, smoking, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and otherprecipitating factorsplay a significant role in causingaberrant
