Latest Updates on Lipid Management

Emmanuel Eroume-A Egom et al. High Blood Press Cardiovasc Prev. 2019 Apr.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the clinical long-term and near-term benefits of lowering cholesterol in, respectively, primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD, cholesterol levels remain under-treated, with many patients not achieving their recommended targets. The present article will review the latest updates on lipid management with emphases on the different classes of cholesterol-lowering agents and their clinical uses.

Keywords: ASCVD; Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; Cholesterol; Lipid management; Triglycerides.
