Since the creation of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, many clinicians have wanted an up-to-date, comprehensive reference on lipidology. Now, for the first time, clinicians can find such a reference in Therapeutic Lipidology. This volume will provide practicing clinicians with a focused and intensive but useable source of information on the identification and management of dyslipidemias. Among the topics discussed in this groundbreaking text are lipoprotein metabolism, pharmacological therapy for cardiovascular disease, thiazolidinediones on serum lipoproteins, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia and obesity, dyslipidemia in children, and much more.

The pace of scientific and clinical advances in lipidology is astounding. This reference will serve as a lifelong stimulus to the reader to continue to learn about the ever changing and fascinating field of therapeutic lipidology. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Therapeutic Lipidology will empower readers to improve and extend the lives of the patients they so conscientiously serve.
