Triglyceride Target : < 50 mg/dl?

Lower triglyceride levels are associated with better endothelial function — target: <50 mg/dl

Highlights

  • FMD values were highest in the group with extremely low levels of triglycerides.

  • Lower triglyceride levels are associated with better endothelial function.

  • The group with extremely low triglycerides had fewer atherosclerosis risk factors.

  • The odds ratio for a lower quartile of FMD remained independently lower.

I thought I was doing well with 70. Back to the drawing board.

Meh. “The main symptom of endothelial dysfunction is chest pain (or angina) that gets worse during physical activity or times of emotional stress.”
Unless I had symptoms, I wouldn’t worry about it.
