摘要
The relationship between an elevated level of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased risk of cardiovascular disease is well established. National and international guidelines are continuously being revised to recommend increasingly lower LDL-C targets for cardiovascular disease prevention. In this Review, Drs. Brautbar and Ballantyne examine the evidence and recommendations for optimal LDL-C levels and the agents currently available or under development to achieve these levels.
