description

Advances in cholesterol-lowering interventions Abstract Numerous epidemiological and prospective studies have shown a direct relationship between total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardio- vascular disease (cardiovascular morbidity and mortality). In many intervention studies with more than 100,000 subjects, statins have shown a powerful and significant reduction of cardiovascular events and a decrease in cardiovascular and overall mortality, far superior to those produced by any other lipid-lowering group.
