'Fast Facts: Hyperlipidemia' is a crisp and accurate summary of lipid disorders, with clear language and illustrations. Directed at a broad range of healthcare professionals, from primary care physicians to specialists, this updated sixth edition addresses the importance of considering lipoprotein particles, not just their lipids. The renowned authors, acknowledging the confusion surrounding the place of statins, carefully unpick clinical trial evidence and discuss guideline recommendations. The result is a clear and logical approach to the management of hyperlipidemia.
