Abstract
A 41-year-old man with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and a history of myocardial infarction four years previously comes to establish care. The total cholesterol level is 155 mg per deciliter (4.01 mmol per liter), the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level 72 mg per deciliter (1.86 mmol per liter), the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level 28 mg per deciliter (0.72 mmol per liter), and the triglyceride level 277 mg per deciliter (3.13 mmol per liter). What strategies can increase his HDL cholesterol level?Keywords
