Risk: Your triglycerides could be lower, the rest of your lipids are good. You need to continue the BP control, should be getting daily aerobic exercise and an 81mg Aspirin a day is a consideration. Talk to your dr. About other factors that may not be in your list above. A mediterranean diet is also a very good idea.
