title: [Hypertriglyceridemia and ischemic heart disease: Is a risk factor ?].
abstract: Hypercholesterolemia is a well known risk factor for coronary cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the role of triglycerides in CVD risk remains controversial.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to study triglyceride level and its relationship with Cholesterol, HDL and LDL Cholesterol level, obesity and overweight in patients with and without CVD.
  
  
  METHODS
  we retrospectively studied patients with and without CVD who attended to Córdoba Hospital and Cardiology unit of Clínica Sucre at Córdoba city between 1st January to 31 st of December of 2009. We included patients with age between 30 to 60 years old with CVD and a control group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  100 patients were included, 64 with CVD and 36 as a control group. 74% were male and 68% older than 50 years old. Lipid values were not statistically significant in both groups. Triglyceride level was higher in the control group, although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0, 7162).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Triglyceride level was not higher in patients with CVD.
