Encorate chrono (valproate) does not usually alter lipid levels. So it is highly unlikely related to the drug.
I would suggest your husband consult a cardiologist for assessing cardiovascular risk. Apart from lifestyle and diet modifications, medications for decreasing lipid levels might be required depending upon cardiovascular risk.
