What are the normal and high values for triglycerides? What thresholds indicate no heart attack, minor attack, and heart attack?
Asked by Male, 44 · 3 months ago
Normal triglyceride levels are below 150 mg/dL. 150 to 199 is borderline, 200 to 499 is high, and 500 or above is very high. High levels increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. If you have chest pain or high triglycerides, see a cardiologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Normal and High Triglyceride Values

- High: 200-499 mg/dL
- Very High: 500 mg/dL and above
Triglyceride Levels and Heart Attack Risk
- Triglyceride levels alone do not diagnose heart attacks.
- Elevated levels increase cardiovascular risk, especially with high LDL or low HDL cholesterol.
Heart Attack Thresholds and Indicators
- Diagnosis is based on symptoms, ECG changes, and cardiac enzyme tests, not triglyceride levels alone.
Recommendations for a 44-Year-Old Male
- Regular lipid profile screening is crucial.
- Adopt lifestyle changes: exercise, healthy diet, limit alcohol.
- Consult a cardiologist if triglyceride levels are high or if there are other risk factors.
Medication and Treatment Options
- Medications like statins or fibrates may be prescribed if needed.
- Treatment should be personalized based on overall health and risk profile.
