A family health team is reviewing recent guidelines for dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risks. Physician colleagues ask the pharmacist for information on the recommendations for monitoring patients in various categories. Lipid profile screening is important in all patients who have a history of:

  1. COPD.

  2. GERD.

  3. Diabetes.

  4. Liver disease.

The correct answer is: Diabetes.

The other options, COPD, GERD, and Liver disease, are not directly related to dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risks. While patients with these conditions may also be at risk for cardiovascular disease, they are not specifically mentioned in the question as needing additional monitoring for lipid profiles. On the other hand, patients with diabetes are known to have an increased risk for dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease, and therefore, it is important for the family health team to review the recommendations for monitoring their lipid profiles.
