Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of hypertriglyceridemia on cardiac and cerebral vascular endpoint events. Methods The data of familial hypertriglyceridemia in 10 years were collected and the occurrence of cardiac and cerebral vascular endpoint events of 2 family members was observed. Results In Family 1, Ⅲ 1 died of hemorrhagic stroke in the first year of study and Ⅲ 3 died of hemorrhagic stroke in the third year of study. Cardiac and cerebral vascular endpoint events did not occur among the rest family members. In Family 2, no cardiac and cerebral vascular endpoint events occurred. Conclusion For familial hypertriglyceridemia, pure hypertriglyceridemia does not cause cardiac and cerebral vascular endpoint events. The occurrence of cerebrovascular endpoint events increases with the presence of hypertension.
