"Cardiovascular disease is caused by inflammation of the walls of the arterial blood vessels. Though other outside agents, like LDL-C, or trigs probably aggravate the situation, controlling the underlying disease process is the best way to control the disease".

Jesse, news flash for you my friend, you have it backwards! First of all, what you're describing has a name, it's called, "Atherosclerosis", formerly considered a bland lipid storage disease, actually involves an ongoing inflammatory response. Recent advances in basic science have established a fundamental role for inflammation in mediating all stages of this disease from initiation through progression and, ultimately, the thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis. Thus, inflammation is the body's RESPONSE mechanism to the underlying cause which is in fact, the accumulation of lipids i.e. fatty acids (derived from triglycerides) within the vessel walls.
