Currently in Latin America and the Caribbean, cardiovascular diseases account for 31% of all deaths. It is estimated that 20.7 million deaths from CVD will occur during the next 10 years. Dyslipidemia is a serious current problem because the condition an increase in mortality in adults. People affected with hypercholesterolemia can avoid cholesterol-lowering medications, with a diet based on functional foods (probiotics). Having a stable and balanced intestinal microbiota is a guarantee of health. Objective: To analyze the use of probiotics in nutritional therapy on dyslipidemia as a cardiovascular risk factor. Methodology: A retrospective and comparative descriptive bibliographic review study was carried out with the following descriptors: lipid profile, probiotics, dyslipidemias, which met the inclusion criteria. The search occurred between february 2019 a february 2020. For a total of: 135 articles published between: 1965 to 2020. Results: Researchers seek to develop therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat metabolic syndrome, with the use of probiotics. A current meta-analysis found that probiotics decreased serum levels of Total Cholesterol and LDL-col in hypercholesterolemic adults, which means that probiotics can reduce CVD morbidity. Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation could be taken as a new therapy for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
