Why is Hypertriglyceridemia Research Important?
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), high triglyceride levels in the blood, also called hypertriglyceridemia, can raise the risk of heart disease and stroke. In people with very high triglyceride levels, the risk of getting an inflamed (swollen) pancreas may be increased.
In some circumstances, current treatment options for high triglyceride levels can be ineffective. Therefore, it is important to find new options through medical research to treat high triglyceride levels.
Medical research is necessary to develop new medications that help provide better treatment options. Before new medications can be approved for public use, they must be tested in research studies.
A medical research study is health-related clinical research for people with a specific condition to see how safe a potential new treatment is and how well it may work for people with that condition.
