#ExistInterpData>
An HDL cholesterol less than 40 mg/dL is low and constitutes a coronary heart disease risk factor. An HDL cholesterol greater than 60 mg/dL is a negative risk factor for coronary heart disease. Non-HDL cholesterol is a secondary target of therapy in persons with high serum triglycerides (greater than 199 mg/dL). The goal for non-HDL cholesterol in persons with high triglycerides is 30 mg/dL higher than their LDL cholesterol goal. CHD Risk Factors +1 Age: Men, 45 years and older Women, 55 years and older or premature menopause without estrogen therapy +1 Family history of premature CHD +1 Current smoking +1 Hypertension +1 Diabetes mellitus +1 Low HDL cholesterol: 39 mg/dL or less -1 High HDL cholesterol: 60 mg/dL or greater *ExistInterpData>
