Hyperlipidaemia and cardiovascular disease: do fibrates have a role?

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Most LDL-lowering trials are limited in duration while the disease process occurs over decades. It is informative, therefore, to evaluate the long-term effects of treatment by undertaking extended observation beyond the formal double-blind phase of intervention studies. The current review brings toget...
