Dyslipidemia Update

Jennifer Ballard-Hernandez et al. Nurs Clin North Am. 2023 Sep.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The development and progression of atherosclerotic CVD are largely dependent on a multitude of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors. Current therapeutic strategies involve risk factor modification, especially dyslipidemia. The treatment of dyslipidemia continues to be dynamic, and in this paper, we review the current strategies for risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. As treatments for the management of dyslipidemia continue to evolve with ever-increasing options for therapeutic targets, an understanding of lipid-lowering therapies remains an essential topic of understanding for all health care providers.

Keywords: Cardiovascular risk reduction; Dyslipidemia; Hyperlipidemia.
