Hyperlipidemia John Baer
What is it? • Hyperlipidemia- any condition that elevates fasting blood triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations • Dyslipidemia- altered blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations • Hypercholesterolemia- elevated cholesterol • Hypertriglyceridemia- elevated triglycerides • Hyperlipoproteinemia- elevated lipoproteins • Hypoalphalipoprotein syndrome- low HDL • Postprandial lipemia- postprandial rise in TG rich proteins after eating

Epidemiology • On the decline • Average cholesterol went from 213 mg/dl to 203 mg/dl (1978-1994) • 17% of adults have cholesterol 240 mg/dl or greater • 67.6% had blood checked in 1991 • 73.1% had blood checked in 2003 • Greater awareness
Symptoms • Cholesterol greater than 240 mg/dl • LDL often over 260 mg/dl • HDL lower than 40 mg/dl
Testing • Obtained through complete blood lipid profile from forearm venipuncture following a 12 hour fast • Finds total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglycerides.
Complications • Dyslipidemia itself is not a complication • Patients with dyslipidemia may also have other diseases or disabilities which may prevent them from exercise • A thorough medical review must be conducted before any exercise training
Treatment • Lifestyle changes • Medications
Lifestyle Changes • TLC diet, therapeutic lifestyle changes • Fat intake 25-35% total calories • Saturated fat less than 7%, polyunsaturated fat 10%, and monounsaturated fat 20% of calories • Increases in dietary fiber and plant stanols or sterols • Encouraged to eat more fruits, vegetables, and high fiber foods
Lifestyle Changes cont. • Smoking cessation • Exercise
Medications • If lifestyle changes are not working well enough for 6 months medications used • Statin agents are most commonly used • Increase HDL and decreases LDL • Inhibits cholesterol synthesis
Effects of Disease on Exercise • Dyslipidemia alone does not affect exercise • Cardiovascular disease could cause angina • Medications currently taking
Medications on Exercise • P. 43 Clinical Exercise Physiology
Effects of Exercise on Disease • Lower triglyceride concentrations • Reduced postprandial lipemia • Decreased concentrations of LDL • Higher HDL concentrations • Increases in lipoprotein enzyme activity • Improved glycemic control • Reduction in adiposity indirectly lowers blood lipid concentrations • P. 225 Pollock’s
Exercise Testing • Follow protocols for populations at risk for CAD • Diagnose CAD • Determine functional capacity • Determine appropriate intensity range for aerobic exercise training • High cholesterol may cause ischemia
Exercise Programming • Aerobic exercise is the foundation of the program • Exercise at 40-80% VO2 max • 5 or more days per week • Once, maybe twice per day • Incorporate resistance training in program • 45 minutes per session • P. 172 ACSM
Conclusions • Have blood lipids checked every 1-5 years • Could prevent CAD and atherosclerosis • Eat healthy and exercise
