  • Title: A pathophysiologic approach to managing hyperlipemia.
    Author: Hazzard WR.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1976 Aug; 14(2):78-87. PubMed ID: 941821.
    Abstract:
    Hyperlipemia is one of several risk factors for premature ischemic vascular disease. It usually represents a primary, lifelong metabolic disorder and control requires changes in life-style. These include a modification of diet (commonly caloric, cholesterol and saturated fat restriction), elimination of smoking and hypertension and, frequently, drug therapy. Drugs can attack endogenous triglyceride overproduction, lipoprotein lipase deficiency or defective remnant uptake, and can decrease cholesterol production and accelerate cholesterol degradation.
