Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and its management is important in preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Dyslipidemia occurs when there is an imbalance in the metabolism and clearance of lipoproteins resulting in lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. Lipid related risk factors for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease include elevated levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), intermediate-density lipoprotein cholesterol (IDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and reduced concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). This lipid risk profile frequently occurs in association with other cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., obesity, elevated blood pressure, diabetes mellitus), and is associated with premature atherosclerosis (NCEP, 2002).
