Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is one of the chronic diseases and it accounts for half of the death by chronic diseases. The three major risk factors for cardiovascular disease are hyperlipidemia, hypertension and cigarette smoking. The hyperlipidemia may occur from increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in a variety of lipoproteins. The serum cholesterol is a potent indicator of risk of coronary heart disease.
