Abstract:
The effects of statins and other lipid drugs are assessed by their ability to affect specific lipid fractions. Although there has been a great deal written abut the statins, most recent papers have focused on the comparative effects of the statins on triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or have been concerned with the nonlipid effects of these drugs. In addition, some recent papers have focused on new parameters that may mediate cardiovascular risk, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
