Abstract: In recent years, more and more evidences show that lowering lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality, but a problem that could not be ignored is that even after treatment with standard low density lipoprotein cholesterol, there is still a risk of large blood vessels and capillaries events (Cardiovascular residual risk). The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in Chinese adults is high, which is closely related to the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and should be given enough attention to.

Key words: hypertriglyceridemia;cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, cholesterol, HDL, residual risk
