Hypercholesterolemia  By : Hyperlipidemia is acknowledged to be a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Most of the evidence specifically implicates hypercholesterolemia; hypertriglyceridemia plays a less significant role, but its effect may be greater in women than men. The major component of the total serum cholesterol that is associated with increased risk is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. In contrast , there is an inverse relationship between symptomatic atherosclerosis and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level; thus, the higher the levels of HDL, the lower is the risk of ischemic heart disease. HDL is believed to mobilize cholesterol from developing and existing atheroma and transport it to the liver for excretion in the bile. Thus HDL participates in reverse transport of cholestrol, thereby earning its designation as the good cholesterol. There is thus great interest in dietary, pharmacologic, and behavioral methods of lowering serum LDL and raising serum HDL. Exercise and moderate consumption of ethanol both raise the HDL level whereas obesity and smoking lower it .

Vessels of any type in virtually any organ can be affected; this leads to a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, which often includes constitutional signs and syumptoms , such as fever, myalgias, artralgias, and malaise. The two most common mechanisms of vasculitis are immune-mediated inflammation and direct invasion of vascular walls by infectious pathogens. Infections can directly induce a noninfectious vasculitis , for example by generating immune complexes or triggering cross-reactivity. In a particular patient, it is critical to distinguish between directly infectious and immunologic mechanisms because the treatment approaches differ widely for example the immunosuppressive therapy appropriate for immune mediated vasculitis would be potentially harmful for infectious vasculitis. Physical and chemical injury, such as irradiation , mechanical trauma and toxins, can also cause vascular damage. In such cases one or a relatively few vessels may be affected, as for example in a localized area of infection , irradiation, or mechanical trauma.
