[Dyslipidemias : Diagnostics and management].
Herz 2017 September
For disorders of lipid metabolism the risk-adapted adjustment of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol remains the primary treatment target, as a causal role in minimizing the progression of ACVD has been shown. Because of their efficacy in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, statins are recommended as first-line pharmacological treatment in dyslipidemias. Additionally, ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition have been shown to significantly reduce cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. Life style changes can improve the plasma lipid profile, particularly in the setting of hypertriglyceridemia. Evaluation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) provides further information when assessing the individual cardiovascular risk, but direct evidence that pharmacologically targeting HDL cholesterol or Lp(a) results in a reduction of cardiovascular events has not yet been shown.
