Hyperlipidemia.

Abstract:

:Coronary heart disease (CHD) is prevalent and often related to an unhealthy diet and hyperlipidemia. The diagnosis of hyperlipidemia should be carefully made, using more than one measurement in the manner described. An assessment of risks allows one to decide whom to treat. Patients with CHD should be treated aggressively but it is less clear how aggressive to be with patients without CHD. Diet and exercise recommendations are appropriate for almost all patients. For those for whom the benefit is greater than the potential risks, statins are first-line drug therapy and they appear to have beneficial effects aside from their lipid-lowering properties.
