Grappling with Hypertriglyceridaemia Rosetta Stone or Pandora’s Box? – MM1506
Hypertriglyceridaemia is caused by interactions between many genetic and nongenetic factors and is a common risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Treatment of hypertriglyceridaemia relies on correcting secondary factors and unhealthy lifestyle habits, particularly poor diet and lack of exercise. Pharmacotherapy is indicated for patients with established CVD and those at moderate-to-high risk of CVD.
