Hyperlipidemias and dyslipidemias (HLP/DLP) represent a heterogenic group of lipid disorders. Cardiovascular events are the most serious
complications of these diseases. Although, efficient and safe drugs (especially statins) are available, the high proportion of cardiovascular
events remains therapeutically unaffected. Currently, an intensive research of drugs modifying levels of LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides
and HDL-cholesterol continues. We can expect some of them to be used in pharmacotherapy for HLP/DLP and to lead to the decrease
of cardiovascular risk of our patients.
