Key result
Postprandial lipaemia links to vascular events, but currently lacks a standardized clinical definition.
Why the study?
The lack of a widely agreed definition of postprandial lipaemia limits the identification and treatment of patients with exaggerated postprandial lipaemia and the evaluation of potential therapeutic agents.
Without agreed PPL definition, patient identification and therapy assessment remain limited; leaves open consensus development for clinical and research progress.
At the present time, there is no widely agreed definition of postprandial lipaemia (PPL). This lack of a shared definition limits the identification and treatment of patients with exaggerated PPL as well as the evaluation of potential therapeutic agents. PPL is a complex syndrome characterized by non-fasting hypertriglyceridaemia that is associated with an increased risk of vascular events. This review considers the definition of PPL and the methodology for assessing this process.

Kolovou et al. (2011) conducted a review in Postprandial lipaemia (non-fasting hypertriglyceridaemia). Postprandial lipaemia is characterized by non-fasting hypertriglyceridaemia associated with vascular events, though no widely agreed clinical definition currently exists.
