Dyslipidemia

Dyslipidemia is a condition that is caused by having abnormally high cholesterol or lipids in the blood. A buildup of lipids and cholesterol can cause plaque buildup that may eventually lead to heart disease. Dyslipidemia is caused by a variety of factors, including smoking, obesity, and consumption of highly saturated foods. Excessive alcohol consumption may also lead to dyslipidemia. 

Symptoms:

Individuals that experience dyslipidemia do not have noticeable symptoms, but can lead to heart disease, which is symptomatic. Dyslipidemia is often discovered through blood tests.
