Abstract
Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke. Long-term,
prospective epidemiologic studies have consistently shown that persons with healthier
lifestyles and fewer risk factors for coronary heart disease, and particularly those
with favorable lipid profiles, have reduced incidence of coronary heart disease. Prevention
and sensible management of dyslipidemia can markedly alter cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality.
