Abstract
The relationship between triglyceride levels and cardiovascular risk remains complex with large, high-quality epidemiological studies indicating that triglyceride levels do not predict risk beyond other lipids and usual classical risk factors, whereas studies of genetic polymorphisms suggest that triglycerides-related pathways may indeed have a causal factor. Statin therapy remains first-line therapy for cardiovascular risk reduction regardless of triglyceride levels.
