Hyperlipidemia 1 Flashcards
__________= Elevation of both total cholesterol and triglycerides
Hyperlipidemia (HLD)
Which type of dyslipidemia?
•Genetic abnormality of cholesterol metabolism
Primary dyslipidemia
Which type of dyslipidemia?
- Diabetes mellitus
- Excessive alcohol use
- Hypothyroidism
- Cholestatic liver disease
- Renal disease
- Smoking
- Obesity
Secondary Dyslipidemia
The following medications are for which type of dyslipidemia?
- OCPs
- thiazide diuretics
- beta blockers
- some atypical antipsychotics
- protease inhibitors
Secondary dyslipidemia
What are the 2 main types of lipids?
- Cholesterol (helps form steroid hormones and bile acids)
- Triglycerides (helps transfer energy from food to cells)
________= how lipids are transported
- Contain proteins – “apoproteins”
- Classified by density
- Low density = more triglycerides
- High density = more apoproteins
Lipoproteins
Transport:
- Liver uses fat and CHO stores to make VLDL
- VLDL transfers TG to cells
- As VLDL loses TG, LDL created
- LDL provides cholesterol to cells
- Excess LDL taken up by liver, cholesterol excreted into bile
- HDL made in liver & intestine
What is HDL’s role in the transport of lipids?
- HDL is made in liver and intestine
- Helps with apoprotein transport & reversal of cholesterol transport (transfers cholesterol to other lipoproteins or directly into liver)
How is cholesterol carried?
Total cholesterol= ____ + ______ + ______
Total Cholesterol = HDL + VLDL + LDL
Lipid fractions:
Most clinical laboratories MEASURE ________, _________, and _______
total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL
Most triglycerides are found in ______particles
VLDL
VLDL cholesterol= TG/5
**Must be fasting to give lowest TG (if TG too high, estimation of LDL can be wrong)**
Primary or Secondary prevention of CVD?
No evidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
Primary Prevention of CVD
-Want to prevent development of CVD
Primary or Secondary prevention of CVD?
–Known ASCVD
–Goal = prevention of a second event
Secondary prevention
The following constitutes_________:
–Coronary heart disease (CHD)
–Cerebrovascular disease
–Peripheral artery disease
–Aortic atherosclerosis and thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysm
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
______= Fatty material collects in arterial walls, hardening over time
ACSVD
