Triglyceride
The most common fatty substance found in the blood; normally stored as an energy source in fat tissue. High triglyceride levels often accompany other risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity.
Anatomy
Tricuspid Valve
The valve at the junction of the right atrium with the right ventricle, which controls flow of blood into the ventricle before each contraction, and prevents backflow
Trans Fat
Created when hydrogen is forced through an ordinary vegetable oil (hydrogenation), converting some polyunsaturates to monounsaturates, and some monounsaturates to saturates. Trans fat, like saturated fat, tends to raise LDL cholesterol levels, and, unlike saturated fat, trans fat also lowers HDL cholesterol levels
