Extractions: HYPERLIPIDEMIA IN CHILDREN AHA Scientific Position High blood cholesterol levels clearly play a role in the development of coronary heart disease in adults. This has been established by many laboratory, clinical, pathological and epidemiological studies. A variety of studies also have shown that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood and is affected by high blood cholesterol levels. The Report of the Expert Panel on Blood and Cholesterol Levels in Children and Adolescents reviews the evidence. Other risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease may begin early in life and should be addressed as well. Cigarette smoking should be discouraged. High blood pressure should be identified and treated.

This disease is genetic and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner but the specific defective gene(s) have not been identified. Elevations in the cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels appear during the teenage years and continue throughout life. Types of elevated lipoproteins may vary between affected family members. Cholesterol deposits in the skin, called xanthomas, that are seen in other disorders of elevated lipoproteins are rarely seen in this disorder. This disorder predisposes the person to increased risk of early coronary artery disease and therefore, heart attacks. The

Extractions: Hyperlipidemia Home Health Topics Hyperlipidemia Hyperlipidemia is an elevation of fats in the blood stream and is a leading contributor to both vascular and coronary artery disease. While Hyperlipidemia takes many forms, the one most frequently encountered is an elevated cholesterol level. Although the term cholesterol is widely known, there are numerous variations of cholesterol that are less widely known. The first of these is high density lipoprotein or HDL. This is the "good" cholesterol. There is also low density lipoproteins (LDL) and and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Both are considered "bad" cholesterol. The total cholesterol level should be kept below 200, with the LDL accounting for no more than 130 of those 200 points. (Ideally the LDL should be in the range of 100 points). While it is important to keep the total level of cholesterol below 200, a more important measure is the ratio between the total cholesterol level and the level of the HDL (the "good" cholesterol). For women, a good ratio is less than 4.5. For men, less than 4.98. However, these numbers are the upper limits of normal. Lower is better. For example, a measurement of total cholesterol yields 200, and the HDL reading is 50. This means the cholesterol to HDL ratio is exactly 4. (200 divided by 50 equals 4).

Managing Elevated Lipid Levels --- HealthandAge

http://www.healthandage.com/PHome/gid2=1549

Extractions: October 5, 2001 Introduction In May 2001 the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute issued new guidelines for managing high cholesterol levels. The vigorous approach that has been proposed almost triples the number of adults who should be receiving lipid-lowering drugs. Here is a summary of the new guidelines, slightly simplified. The first step is to determine the subject's likely risk of having coronary heart disease (CHD), followed by treatment dependent on the actual lipid profile. Determine the risk level All adults should have a fasting lipoprotein profile (total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride) done every 5 years. The cholesterol levels are now classified as follows, based on data from studies that assess the risk of coronary events: LDL Cholesterol (mg/dL) Optimal Near optimal/above optimal Borderline high High Very high Total Cholesterol (mg/dL) Desirable Borderline high High HDL Cholesterol (mg/dL) Low High The major risk factors (excluding the actual LDL cholesterol level) to be used modifying for setting target LDL levels are: The target LDL cholesterol can now be individualized for the subject: The approach to treatment Before deciding on a treatment plan, the physician should exclude the possibility of secondary hyperlipidemia. Any person with elevated LDL cholesterol or other form of hyperlipidemia should undergo clinical or laboratory assessment to rule out secondary dyslipidemia before initiation of lipid-lowering therapy. Causes of secondary dyslipidemia include: diabetes, hypothyroidism, obstructive liver disease, chronic renal failure, and some drugs (progestins, anabolic steroids, and corticosteroids). The appropriate tests to detect these conditions include: glycosylated hemoglobin serum TSH, serum liver enzymes, serum albumin, and urinalysis.

Extractions: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the primary cause of death in the United States and many developed countries. CHD is caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the heart. The main reason for his narrowing is atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty streaks inside the walls of arteries. Hyperlipidemia-a risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and heart disease-refers to the elevation of cholesterol and/or triglycerides, one of the main forms of fat in the body. The good news is that its negative effects can be avoided by lowering cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance that is essential to the body. It is the substance needed to make bile (necessary for absorption of food) and some hormones (steroid hormones). Cholesterol is also used to form cell membranes; it is, therefore, important that it is available to all cells. The cells receive cholesterol from two sources: 1) Cholesterol produced by the liver (the endogenous source) and 2) obtained from the diet (the exogenous source). Cholesterol does not travel alone in the blood but is present as one component of blood particles called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins contain cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and proteins. The more cholesterol and triglycerides present within a lipoprotein, the less dense it is. These lipoproteins are thus categorized by size, fat content, and density. The three major lipoproteins found in blood are as follows:
