Hi JV,

Triglycerides are a type of fat. High triglycerides means your husband has hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high triglycerides). Both are conditions directly impacting heart health. I recommend reading the article below on triglycerides and then submitting any questions you may have.
