[Dyslipidemia]

Abstract

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is the most established risk factor for atherosclerotic disease such as coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and nonHDL-C as well as small dense LDL, Remnant like particles cholesterol (RLP-C) and oxidized LDL are the secondary risk factors for atherosclerosis. It is important to integrate and control these risk factors for the prevention of atherosclerosis as a real endpoint of diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia.
