[Treatment of lipid disorders].

abstract：BACKGROUND:It is believed that most myocardial infarctions result from the rupture of "vulnerable plaques", that share certain common characteristics. These plaques typically consist of a lipid-rich core in the central portion of the thickened intima, covered by a thin friable fibrous cap. Today, one of the important c...
