Hyperinsulinism and dyslipidemias as coronary heart disease risk factors in NIDDM.
In conclusion hypertriglyceridemia is accompanied by multiple metabolic disturbances which are potentially atherogenic. Atherogenic pattern of risk factors in insulin resistance syndrome request early intervention to prevent the development of CHD. The practical implication is that the presence of cardiovascular risk factors like hyperinsulinism and dyslipidemias particularly in a person with a family history of NIDDM or hypertension, deserves attention before overt diseases develop.
