Figure 5. The risk over the next six years per 100 men, aged 50 years who have no family history of coronary heart disease, who do not have diabetes, who are non-smokers and whose systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg and serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol is 1.4 mmol/L (54 mg/dL), is plotted as a function of their serum triglyceride at three different levels of serum cholesterol 5, 7 and 9 mmol/L (192, 269 and 346 mg/dL). The risk was calculated using the Spirit 6 calculator [Assmann, 1992]. Courtesy of Professor PN Durrington.
