Dyslipidemia |
Vascular damage |
Organic damage |
|
Inadequate levels of: |
Atherosclerosis |
Complications |
|
• LDL • VLDL • Remnants of VLDL • Lp(a) • Apo B • HDL • Non-HDL C |
• Coronary • Carotid • Aortic • Peripheral
|
• Ischemic heart disease; MI, UA, SD, arrhythmias, HF • Cerebrovascular disease; TIA, cerebral infarction, cognitive impairment • Aortic disease; Aneurysm, renovascular hypertension, CKD, mesenteric ischemia • Peripheral arterial disease |
|
LDL = low-density lipoproteins, VLDL = very low-density lipoproteins, Lp(a) = Lipoprotein a. Apo B = Apolipoprotein B, HDL = high density lipoproteins, Non-HDL C = total cholesterol minus HDL. MI = myocardial infarction, UA = unstable angina, SD = sudden death, HF = heart failure. |
