  2. Triglycerides and CVD • Epidemiological studies • Intervention studies • Niacin • Fibrates • Genes and genome-wide association studies • Pathophysiology of atherogenic dyslipidemia

  3. Are triglycerides an independent risk factor? PROCAM Study 200 150 Mls/ 1000/ 10 years 100 >165 Triglycerides Tertiles (mg/dL) 50 < 104-165 < 104 0 <132 132-162 >162 LDL-Cholesterol tertiles (mg/dL)
