Nonfasting Triglycerides, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, and Heart Failure Risk: Two Cohort Studies of 113 554 Individuals.

TLDR
Stepwise higher concentrations of nonfasting triglycerides were associated with stepwise higher risk of heart failure; however, concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were not associated with risk ofHeart failure in the general population.
Abstract
Objective—The prevalence of heart failure is increasing in the aging population, and heart failure is a disease with large morbidity and mortality. There is, therefore, a need for identifying modif...

The forgotten lipids: Triglycerides, remnant cholesterol, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk

TL;DR: An overview of the biology, epidemiology, and genetics of TGs and ASCVD is provided; current and novel TG-lowering therapies under development are discussed; and many novel drugs are in development and have shown impressive efficacy in lowering TG levels.

Lipoproteins and lipids in cardiovascular disease: from mechanistic insights to therapeutic targeting.

TL;DR: This review comprehensively discusses low- and high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), triglycerides as well as fatty acids and derivatives in the context of cardiovascular disease, providing mechanistic insights into their role in pathological processes impacting on cardiovascular disease.

Highlighting Residual Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk.

TL;DR: High prevalence of ASCVD can be observed in type 2 diabetic patients with elevated levels of plasma triglycerides and low levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (HDL-C) and levels of glycated hemoglobin outside the target range, as well as in patients who for other reasons have elevated triglycerides, or increased inflammation.

Prevention of coronary heart disease with pravastatin in men with hypercholesterolemia. West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study Group

TL;DR: Treatment with pravastatin significantly reduced the incidence of myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular causes without adversely affecting the risk of death from noncardiovascular causes in men with moderate hypercholesterolemia and no history of my Cardiac Infarction.

Prevention of coronary heart disease with pravastatin in men with hypercholesterolemia

TL;DR: In this article, a double-blind study was designed to determine whether the administration of pravastatin to men with hypercho-lesterolemia and no history of myocardial infarction correlated with the combined incidence of nonfatal mycardial in-farction and death from coronary heart disease.

Plasma triglyceride level is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease independent of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level: a meta-analysis of population-based prospective studies.

TL;DR: Based on combined data from prospective studies, triglyceride is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease for both men and women in the general population, independent of HDL cholesterol.
