Lower triglyceride levels are associated with better endothelial function — target: <50 mg/dl

Highlights

FMD values were highest in the group with extremely low levels of triglycerides.
Lower triglyceride levels are associated with better endothelial function.
The group with extremely low triglycerides had fewer atherosclerosis risk factors.
The odds ratio for a lower quartile of FMD remained independently lower.

endothelial function

Meh. “The main symptom of endothelial dysfunction is chest pain (or angina) that gets worse during physical activity or times of emotional stress.”
Unless I had symptoms, I wouldn’t worry about it.
