Abstract

The link between lipid abnormalities and CVD is well established. A lipid profile measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG). Abnormal blood lipid levels, which are high total cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides, high levels of LDL, and low levels of HDL cholesterol, increase the risk of heart disease and stroke (Mackay and Mensah 2004). It is a well-known fact that high serum total and LDL cholesterol are important risk factors for CAD (Gould et al. 1998; Ballantyne 1998). Elevated LDL levels are associated with myocardial infarction and peripheral vascular disease, while HDL offers protection against these disorders.
