What is the definition of dyslipidemia?
Dyslipidemia has traditionally been defined as one or more of the following: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) <40 mg/dL, or triglycerides (TGs) 200 mg/dL. However, in patients with known CVD or elevated risk for CVD, even normal lipids levels warrant intervention for CVD risk reduction.
