Using an evidence-based approach this guide offers practical solutions to the problems encountered by healthcare professionals in the clinical management of hyperlipidemia. The second edition sets out, in the context of findings of major clinical trials, revised criteria and targets for treatment.
The fat-rich diet typical of Western society contributes to high rates of coronary heart disease, which is the most common cause of death from middle age onwards in much of the developed world. Yet many trials have clearly shown that lipid-lowering drugs can reduce the risk of such disease and stroke, and increase life expectancy. Using an evidence-based approach, "Fast Facts - Hyperlipidemia" provides a rationale and practical guidance for healthcare professionals in the clinical management of hyperlipidemia. The updated and expanded second edition sets out, in the context of findings of major clinical trials, revised criteria and targets for treatment. It describes both where practice stands and where it is going. It should prove valuable to the family physician and should be of interest to the specialist.
