Abstract :

Introduction: Elevated cholesterol & triglyceride levels are major contributors to cardiovascular disease (CVD), leading cause of mortality worldwide. Objective: To review the Epidemiology, Clinical implications of High cholesterols & triglycerides, and discuss evidence-based Management Strategy. Results: High Cholesterols (≥200 mg/dL) & triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL) increase CVD risk by two to three fold. Combined Elevation of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides accelerates Atherosclerosis. Lifestyle Modifications: Diet, Exercise, Weight Management, Reduce Cholesterol & Triglycerides by 10-20%. Statins, fibrates, and omega-3 fatty acids effectively lower Cholesterol & Triglycerides. Conclusion: High cholesterol and triglycerides pose a significant threat to cardiovascular health. 1. Early screening and intervention can prevent CVD. 2. Lifestyle modifications are crucial for managing cholesterol & triglycerides. 3. Pharmacotherapy should be tailored to individual risk proof Keywords: Early Detection of High Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Cardiovascular Disease, Atherosclerosis, Lifestyle Modification, Pharmacotherapy.
