High Blood Triglycerides Linked to Stroke Risk
Boosted concentrations of these fats doubled the odds, researchers say THURSDAY, Dec. 27 (HealthDay News)-- High blood levels of the fats called triglycerides are associated with an increased risk of stroke, a new study finds. "There's a lot of evidence emerging that they have a str...Pittsburgh scientists find protein may be key to new therapies for elevated triglycerides
Diabetes researchers at the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center at Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a potential target for the development of new therapies to treat hypertriglyceridemia, a lipid disorder commonly seen in people who are obese and diabetic. Results of their st...National Survey Shows Patients are Unaware of Serious Heart Risks of Triglycerides
Results of a national survey from the National Lipid Association (NLA) demonstrate that patients—including those at greatest risk—are woefully// unaware of the cardiovascular risks associated with unhealthy levels of triglycerides, a fat found in the blood.
