    Author: Jialal I, Remaley AT.
    Journal: Clin Pharmacol Ther; 2014 Jul; 96(1):20-2. PubMed ID: 24942398.
    Abstract:
    The deposition of cholesterol in the arterial wall by the infiltration of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is a key step in the development of atherosclerosis. In this Commentary, we discuss recent recommendations for clinical laboratory measurement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and its utility both for assessing cardiovascular disease risk and as a tool in the management of patients receiving lipid-lowering therapy.
