Dyslipidemia is an important correctable factor for Coronary Artery Disease. There is a strong, independent, continuous, and graded relation between total cholesterol (TC) or low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level and risk for Coronary Artery Disease events. This relation has been clearly demonstrated in men and women and in all age groups. More than one half of U.S. adults (102 million) have TC levels greater than 200 mg/dl, and of these, 40 per cent (41 million) have values greater than 240 mg/dl, and of these, 40 per cent(41 million) have valves greater than 240 mg/dl. In general, a 1 per cent increase in LDL-C level leads to a 2 per cent to 3 per cent increase in risk for Coronary Artery Disease.
