Dyslipidaemia refers to abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, including elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or elevated triglycerides. It is clinically significant as it increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. A common association is familial hypercholesterolaemia, a genetic condition leading to markedly high cholesterol levels and early cardiovascular events.
