American Indians CVD rates in American Indians are now
higher than in the general U.S. population The rates are increasing The majority of CVD occurs in people
with diabetes

Non-HDL Cholesterol:
Non-HDL cholesterol = Total Cholesterol - HDL

are 200 mg/dL (esp. 200–499 mg/dL)““The simple non-HDL cholesterol measurement,which can The simple non-HDL cholesterol measurement,which can be conducted in the be conducted in the nonfasting statenonfasting state and can be determined and can be determined

Non-HDL Cholesterol as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease in Type 2 Diabetes:
The Strong Heart Study*
Non-HDL cholesterol is a better predictor of risk for CVD than LDL & TG in men & women and Total/HDL in women
Conclusion: This study suggests that non-HDL cholesterol index may be particularly useful in predicting CVD risk in patients with diabetes.

The metabolic syndrome is not a strong determinant of CVD in American Indians without diabetes as in other populations studied

There is a rising tide of CVD in AI/AN Most CVD is in those with diabetes Diabetes care should include attention to
major CVD risk factors – LDL, BP, smoking In addition, albuminuria and ECG
abnormalities can be considered in identifying those with increased risk
Research is focusing on future strategies for therapy and prevention of CVD in diabetes
