Key articles, guidelines, and consensus papers relative to the treatment of dyslipidemias--2005.
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for development of coronary heart disease. Proper diagnosis and adequate treatment are vital to reducing morbidity and mortality associated with elevated serum lipid levels. The amount of literature in this area is overwhelming. To aid practitioners and educators in organizing this large body of information, we compiled key articles, guidelines, and consensus papers relative to the treatment of dyslipidemias. Research articles were chosen based on the significance of findings, relevance to practice, quality of research, and timeliness; recent articles were given priority over earlier ones unless they demonstrated groundbreaking findings.
