摘要: Dyslipidaemias play a key role in determining cardiovascular risk; the discovery of statins has contributed very effective approach. However, many patients do not achieve, at maximal tolerated dose, recommended goals for low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B (apoB). Available agents combined with can provide additional LDL-C reduction, development will increase therapeutic options impacting also other atherogenic lipoprotein classes. In fact, genetic insights into mechanisms underlying regulation levels expanded potential targets drug therapy led to novel agents. Among them are modulators apoB containing lipoproteins production proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 inhibitors. Alternative such as lipoprotein(a) require attention; however, until we have better understanding these issues, further lowering high high-risk represent most sound clinical
