Lipids and Atherosclerosis

Dyslipidaemia and Atherosclerosis: Clinician's Guidelines Clinical Handbook translates recently updated guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease - the ESC/EAS Joint Guidelines for Management of Dyslipidaemia (2016) - to an accessible ready reference.

The handbook differentiates lipoproteins containing apolipoproteins B or A and their role in atherosclerosis. For the clinician, the focus is on which lipids should be analysed for risk estimation, and an overview of primary, secondary and genetic causes of dyslipidaemias.

The handbook summarises lifestyle and pharmacotherapy options for clinical management, lipid treatment targets and practical advice for treating patients.

Authored by leading experts in the field, these guidelines will be an invaluable accessible resource for both primary and secondary care clinicians.
