title: [Lipid balance in an arteritic patient and therapeutic implications].
abstract: The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis remains hypothetical, the current vogue of a lipidic origin being now only a working hypothesis. The management of an arteritic patient (for a treating clinician) is that of a case of global atherosclerosis. Screening for lipids: 1) is here of only moderate interest in the close scrutiny of currently recognized risk factors, and 2) should include initially a simple study of total plasma cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) on two occasions at one month's interval in a reliable laboratory. Therapeutic implications are a function of a global analysis of the patient and not just the values for even sophisticated assays of circulating lipids.
