OverviewA high level of blood cholesterol is well established as a central risk factor in coronary heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in many developed countries. Despite this, considerable confusion remains regarding the how and why of lipid reduction. This text aims to provide a concise, practical and informative approach to cholesterol lowering for practising physicians and other health care professionals. It is not intended to be encyclopaedic in nature, but to act as a ready-reference that the physician can consult in the busy clinical situation. The reader is provided with practical guidelines and algorithms for prescribing lipid-lowering drugs, and relevant coronary biology and clinical trial data is included.
