    This document outlines laboratory test parameters that can help prevent coronary artery disease (CAD). It recommends maintaining total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio below 4, total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL, LDL-C below 100 mg/dL, HDL-C above 40 mg/dL, triglycerides below 150 mg/dL, Hs-C-reactive protein below 0.7 mg/dL, and homocysteine levels between 4 to 14 to reduce the risk of developing CAD.

    CHART 403

    Laboratory Test Parameters That Prevent CAD

    Patient teaching needs to stress that the following blood levels are the goal for prevention of CAD: Total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio < 4 Total cholesterol < 200 mg/dL LDL-C < 100 mg/dL HDL-C > 40 mg/dL Triglycerides < 150 mg/dL Hs-C-reactive protein < 0.7 mg/dL = low risk Homocysteine 4 to 14.
