Case Study 1: Mild Hypertriglyceridemia in a South Asian Patient With Type 2 Diabetes
A 31-year-old South Asian man presents for a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk assessment. He is 5'10", weighs 181 pounds, has a waist circumference of 36", and a blood pressure of 135/85 mm Hg. He has had type 2 diabetes for 3 years. He takes 1000 mg of metformin and 40 mg of atorvastatin once daily. His mother had coronary artery bypass graft surgery with complications at age 53.
