Dyslipidemia is defined as elevated total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG); low highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); or a combination of these. This type of abnormality can lead to the development of atherosclerosis which in turn can lead to coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), peripheral vascular diseases (PVD), etc. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in India is 7.5% among adults aged between 15 to 64 years, with an even higher prevalence (62%) among young male industrial workers. Dyslipidemia does not produce any symptoms until the occurrence of a complication such as myocardial infarction due to early atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia can be explained in light of Santarpanajanya vikara according to Ayurveda. Atisantarpana nidana leads to Kapha prakopa and Medodushti playing vital role in the development of dyslipidemia.
