Lipid problems, in a limited no. of people, can be familial but, not many. If there is lipid screening, this gets to be
known and as a primary-preventive measure for CAD, this group requires proper dietary, lipid lowering drug therapy.
Both my parents had CAD and this is a non-modifiable risk factor, As many should know, modifiable are, like:
A).Aspirin prophylaxis, B).BP-control, C).Cholesterol-proper screening with lipid profile and get the numbers, to be optimal, D).Diabetes-proper management, E).Exercise-to avoid sedentary life style, F).Food-proper low fat diet, etc. This should be helpful for both primary and secondary prevention of CAD, in some people. Also, not to
under-emphasize , to stop or avoid smoking, as an important risk factor.
@ramakambhatla, I'm sorry to say that your posting here is confusing in several respects, and I worry that Connect members might get the wrong idea from some of your cryptic statements. For example, you say that not many people have lipid problems that are familial, but you didn't tell us what you meant by familial. In the US, most of the best research on disease and human behavior asserts that heart and circulatory disorders caused by excess lipids (e.g., cholesterolemia) are much more prevalent among members and succeeding generations of the same family. You also seem to say that "lipid problems" are "a non-modifiable risk factor" for coronary artery disease (CAD), but then you advocate lipid-lowering drug therapy as "required" and go on to list six behavioral changes and one lab test that "should be helpful." It's also puzzling that you focused on CAD and cholesterol in a discussion whose topic is CoQ10 as a treatment for muscle pain caused by statin medications.
