Plant sterols beyond low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
Moderate hypercholesterolaemia still remains one of the commonest metabolic disorders in developed societies, largely due to the effect of an inappropriate diet with high intake of saturated and trans fatty acids. This form of hypercholesterolaemia is often accompanied by arterial hypertension which may increase the atherogenicity of even moderately increased concentrations of the LDL fraction....
متن کاملBeyond Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
Recent clinical trials in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) provide evidence that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels should be lowered even further to prevent recurrent CAD. However, despite more aggressive interventions for lowering LDL-C levels, the majority of CAD events go undeterred, perhaps related to the fact that intervention was not started earlier in life or ...

International clinical practice guidelines on dyslipidemia emphasize the importance of matching the use and intensity of statin therapy with the absolute risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Indeed, independent of the baseline level of dyslipidemia, patients who have entered the intervention arms of randomized clinical trials of statin therapy with similar absolute risks of CVD...
متن کاملBeyond High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels
A number of therapeutic strategies targeting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and reverse cholesterol transport are being developed to halt the progression of atherosclerosis or even induce regression. However, circulating HDL cholesterol levels alone represent an inadequate measure of therapeutic efficacy. Evaluation of the potential effects of HDL-targeted interventions on atheroscl...
متن کاملClinical significance of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the significance of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the context of low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). BACKGROUND Earlier studies support an inverse correlation between circulating HDL-C and coronary risk in patients with normal or elevated LDL-C. METHODS This study involved 4,188 patients attending the Palo Alto Veterans Adminis...
