title: Trials of lipid-lowering therapy in primary prevention of coronary heart disease.
abstract: The effectiveness of lipid-regulating therapy in the primary prevention of coronary heart disease requires further investigation. The only data available are from trials conducted before the advent of more potent lipid-regulating agents, but several large trials currently in progress are expected to provide valuable evidence about the role of lipid-regulating intervention in primary prevention.
