  • Title: Drug therapy for hyperlipidemia. When reducing cardiovascular risk is a priority.
    Author: Bays HE, Dujovne CA.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1992 Apr; 91(5):162-4, 167-8, 171-2 passim. PubMed ID: 1561158.
    Abstract:
    If you are confused about the plethora of lipid-lowering agents now available and have not been able to read all the latest studies, you are not alone. It is almost impossible for busy physicians to keep up with this rapidly growing area of research. Drs Bays and Dujovne provide an update of the major antihyperlipidemics, along with a discussion of how to select patients for this therapy and the relative cost-effectiveness of the different types of therapy.
