This book is an update of the treatment of hyperlipidemia, necessary due to the identification in recent years of molecular mechanisms of atherogenesis. Emphasis is on the disease etiology of arteriosclerosis, the treatment of associated or causing diseases and treatment by dietary means or hypolipidemic drugs.
