Polygenic Risk Score for Coronary Artery Disease and Dyslipidemia
Many people believe that high blood lipid levels are caused by diet alone. However, genetics also plays a significant role in determining an individual's lipid levels.
What causes high cholesterol?
- High cholesterol can result from several factors, most commonly a combination of:
- Genetic traits
- Lifestyle and environmental factors, such as diet, exercise, body weight, stress, smoking, and underlying health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes
The most important goal in managing high cholesterol, regardless of the cause, or whether related to genetic traits or genetic disorders, is to prevent coronary artery disease.
The primary goal of treating high cholesterol is not simply to lower blood lipid levels, but to reduce the future risk of acute coronary syndrome. Chronically elevated blood lipid levels can cause the coronary arteries to harden, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and potentially leading to acute myocardial infarction.
Therefore, everyone with high cholesterol should receive an appropriate cardiovascular risk assessment.
