Abstract：
:Reduction in the risk of cardiovascular complications through modification of lipids is currently focused on lowering low density lipoproteins-cholesterol, with statins being the preferred drugs. New agents, under research, such as antibodies neutralizing PCSK9, will have a special place for the management of patients with intolerance to statins of severe dyslipemias. Drugs used to modify the concentration of high density lipoproteins-cholesterol and triglycerides have not been accompanied by the expected reductions in the rate of cardiovascular complications.
