What are the normal and high values for triglycerides? What thresholds indicate a heart attack?
Asked by Female, 46 · 3 months ago
Normal triglyceride levels are below 150 mg/dL. Levels between 150 to 199 mg/dL are borderline high, 200 to 499 mg/dL are high, and 500 mg/dL or more is very high. High triglycerides increase the risk of heart disease, but they do not directly cause a heart attack on their own. A heart attack happens when cholesterol plaques block blood flow in the heart. Keeping triglycerides low with a healthy diet, exercise, and proper medication helps reduce your overall heart risk.
