“Day-long elevations in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be problematic because of the atherogenic nature of these particles.”

“Overtreatment of multiple hormonal imbalances can cause central obesity and atherogenic and metabolic abnormalities.”

“Recent studies have shown that atherogenic lipid profiles are associated with increased risk of ischaemic, but not haemorrhagic, strokes.”

“Inflammatory processes are believed to play a role in the conversion of coronary vessel-wall lipids into dangerous atheromatous plaques.”

“Much effort must be given to reducing the risk factors that predispose to major atheromatous arterial disease.”

“Acute coronary events occur as a result of rupture of an unstable atheromatous plaque.”
