Inadequate life styles together with certain types of genetic background can induce and aggravate the condition of dyslipidemia. The personal status of inflammation, which is reflected by the serum C-reactive protein level, and the status of insulin resistance are considered as emerging risks for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, together with aggressive management of correctable major risks, maintaining ideal lifestyles may be helpful to prevent the event of cardiovascular diseases. The most important goal of managing dyslipidemic conditions is to reach an ideal level of lipid profile, and aggressive drug management can be tried where indicated.
