title: Giving triglycerides their due.
abstract: Often considered less important than other serum lipids, triglycerides are nevertheless an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Treatment may be indicated even when triglyceride levels are only mildly elevated and cholesterol readings are within the normal range. Detailed lipoprotein profiles, now clinically available, may guide decision making in such cases.
