Synopsis
Bestmedicine is a series of practical and authoritative guides providing detailed information for patients, carers and the general public that until now has only been available to the medical profession. Bestmedicine Lipid Disorders reviews the incontrovertible evidence that raised cholesterol is one of the most important risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. With appropriate lifestyle changes (such as changes to the diet and exercise) cholesterol can be reduced, although for the majority of patients drug treatment will be needed to reduce their cholesterol to acceptable levels. Bestmedicine Lipid Disorders reviews the evidence behind the most widely used drugs that are used to control cholesterol and the important role they have played in reducing the risk of heart disease over the past decade.
