A lipoprotein panel was done on 2 different individuals, both of whom were found to have a total cholesterol level of 200 mg/dl, a reading in the borderline high range. Yet, the physician was concerned about heart disease in one of the patients more than the other. What other factors may have contributed to the physician's evaluation of the 2 patients?
Homework Answers
Lipoprotein especially the VLDL type are responsible for plaque formation in the blood vessels. A good HDL to VLDL ratio must be maintained for healthy heart.
In the above case, the physician might have decided one patient is at higher risk of developing heart disease than the other because of various other factors like diabetes, smoking and alcoholism.
Diabetics and smokers are more prone to atherosclerosis which further leads to heart disease.

Background Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance found in the bloodstream. Serum Cholesterol measures the level of both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol in your blood. For adults, a desirable cholesterol level will be between 125 mg/dL and 200 mg/dL. A borderline high cholesterol count is between 200 mg/dL and 239 mg/dL, and any reading from 240 mg/dL and beyond is considered high. High serum cholesterol levels could result in complications including stroke, heart attack, or coronary artery disease....

The most powerful patient engagement motivator is the patient-physician relationship itself. When patients have been out of touch with their provider for some time, alerts about the need to see their doctor can engage patients and get them started down the road to better health. By leveraging the patient-physician relationship, providers can encourage patients to change their health behavior, and often produce the desired result. While patient engagement is essential to improving health outcomes, the lack of such engagement is...
