	1995 The Nova Scotia Health Survey: Chapter 3
		High blood pressure9 is a known risk factor for CVD and kidney failure (Hasford, 1992; Nova Scotia Heart Health Program, 1992).
		It is therefore recommended that all Canadians over the age of 25 years have their blood pressure checked as part of any routine health examination and that the patient be informed of their blood pressure reading in numbers, to improve both the understanding of their condition and compliance with treatment.
		Given that uncontrolled high blood pressure puts people at risk for heart disease and stroke, it is important to know whether the 25% of Nova Scotians with elevated blood pressure were being treated and controlled (blood pressure brought to less than 140/90 mmHg).

		In response to the irritation, white blood cells and platelets are summoned to the scene.
		Deprival of blood flow to the cells downstream is known as ischemia (literally "withheld blood").
		High blood glucose levels cause glucose to attach to proteins in the blood (including lipoproteins) in the blood vessels, changing the structure of the molecules and altering the way they function.

	Sanofi-aventis :: New England Journal of Medicine Publishes the RIO-Lipids Study
		The trial evaluated rimonabant in overweight or obese patients with abnormal blood lipids (high triglycerides and/or high total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios) and the findings showed that patients on rimonabant 20mg once daily experienced a significant improvement in a range of cardiometabolic risk factors that may contribute to type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
		High waist circumference is a practical indicator of abdominal adiposity (excess fat in the abdomen), which is acknowledged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.(3) Therefore, the reduction in waist circumference seen with rimonabant is an important indicator of a reduced cardiometabolic risk profile.
		Diastolic blood pressure in turn decreased by 1.7 mm Hg in patients in the rimonabant 20mg/day arm compared to a 0.2 mm Hg decrease in patients in the placebo arm (p=0.011 vs. placebo).

	Cardiovascular Disease Risk - HIV Research of the Nutrition Infection Unit - Tufts Med
		To reduce blood lipids, nutrition experts recommend diets low in fat, especially saturated fat (fatty cuts of meat, poultry with skin, whole-milk diary foods, and coconut and palm oils).
		Diets should be high in fiber-rich whole-grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables—especially citrus fruits and green and yellow vegetables.
		High blood pressure, which makes the heart work harder, causing it to enlarge and weaken, increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

	HCV protects against abnormal blood lipids in HAART-treated HIV patients
		Changes in body fat distribution were found more often in patients with high blood lipids (38.8%) compared to those with normal lipids (27.7%).
		The protective effect of HCV infection on lipids was only seen when a patient was treated with HAART, leading the investigators to theorise that ‘the interactions of HAART on lipidic metabolism seem to be neutralised by the HCV infection’.
		In contrast, high triglycerides have been observed in a minority of HCV-monoinfected patients which are thought to be the result of high endogenous interferon levels.

	Atherosclerosis Control: Lowering LDL-Bad Cholesterol
		In short, cholesterol is a group of lipids (fats) vital to cell membranes, nerve fibers and bile salts, and a necessary precursor for the sex hormones.
		High LDL and low HDL levels indicate diets high in refined carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate sensitivity.
		As blood fats (triglycerides, cholesterol, etc.), to a great extent, is intimately related to what you eat, your diet has a strong impact on the levels of LDL-bad cholesterol in the blood.

	High blood pressure
		People with greatly elevated blood pressure are at risk of numerous diseases and the life insurance companies (who hold morbidity data) tell us that your life expectancy drops as your blood pressure goes up.
		Blood pressure levels are determined by many different factors - pulse rate, heart pumping volume ("stroke volume"), hormones, blood vessel elasticity and diameter, salt and fluid levels etc. Your blood pressure is a result of controlling these many different factors.
		If your blood pressure is poorly controlled or if there are problems, we may need to see you more often.

		If your baby does have high blood lipids, the good news is that blood levels of fats can be controlled by diet, exercise, and medication.
		Your child's diet should contain foods high in omega-3 and mono-unsaturated fats, which build your baby's brain and are necessary for growing tissues.
		Foods high in saturated fats are those of animal origin, and those containing palm kernel oil or coconut oil.

	Attacking Heart Disease at Its Genes / July 23, 1999 / News from the USDA Agricultural Research Service
		Ordovas focuses on genes that control blood lipids and has identified several of the 40 or so genes so far known to affect cardiovascular health.
		Four main disorders under genetic control contribute to heart-disease risk: high blood lipids, high blood pressure, obesity in the abdomen, and impaired glucose tolerance, resulting in type II diabetes.
		For example, in an obese individual, an obesity gene can trigger a normally beneficial gene for blood lipids to express high LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides.

	KIDS' LIPID LEVELS CLUE TO INHERITED HIGH CHOLESTEROL
		Measuring low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, so-called 'bad' cholesterol), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, so-called 'good' cholesterol) and lipoprotein A (a protein and lipid complex present in the blood) can accurately diagnose FH in childhood and leads to identification of families at highest risk of cardiovascular disease, they said.
		The researchers stressed, however, that their results only applied to families where FH had already been diagnosed and could not be generalised to other lipid disorders or to the general population.
		Lipid levels in more than 1000 children from FH families were analysed as part of the study.

		Increased levels of blood lipids caused by the administration of antiretroviral drugs can be decreased by fish oil capsules, according to the results of a randomised controlled trial presented on Wednesday at the Twelfth Annual Retrovirus Conference in Boston.
		There were no changes in total or high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol over the course of the study in either group.
		The researchers suggest that Maxepa treatment, despite the high pill burden and dosing frequency, may represent an attractive option for first-line treatment of elevated triglycerides because of a lack of drug interactions and good efficacy.
