Abstract:
Dyslipidemia is closely related to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, current clinical practice often relies on fasting lipid levels for the assessment of dyslipidemia, with little attention given to postprandial lipid levels, thereby overlooking the cardiometabolic disease risk associated with postprandial dyslipidemia. As an indispensable component of lipid management, postprandial lipids are not routinely measured in clinical practice due to the lack of standardized protocols about test meals and blood collection program. The paper titled " Optimization of oral fat tolerance test" published in this issue proposed a standardized protocol for postprandial lipid measurement. More studies are needed to accumulate evidence about the health benefits of possible interventions and to provide a reliable scientific basis for the early identification of dyslipidemic population as well as for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
