SOLVED4218

When caring for a client with metabolic syndrome, the nurse understands that the underlying pathophysiologic process causing hyperlipidemia and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease is: Deposition of LDL cholesterol plaque in the tunica intima of arteries causing progressive blockage of blood flow leading to chronic ischemia. Increased levels of HDL cholesterol accelerate the deposition of cholesterol plaque in the coronary arteries. Triglycerides are mainly responsible for the formation of atheroma in the tunica adventitia of arteries. Hypertension plays a minor role in the development of coronary artery disease.
