    Author: Weizel A, Richter WO.
    Journal: Eur J Med Res; 1997 Jun 16; 2(6):265-9. PubMed ID: 9182654.
    Abstract:
    Lowering of plasma cholesterol and particularly of LDL cholesterol has been shown to be an effective way of primary and secondary prophylaxis of coronary heart disease. A broad range of drugs is available (bile acid binding resins, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, fibrates, nicotinic acid, probucol, beta-sitosterol) for therapy. The choice of the drug is based on the efficacy, possible side effects and proven effects on coronary heart disease.
