Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Measurement of blood of lipids and lipoproteins has become one of the most frequently performed assays in clinical chemistry laboratories, reflecting their role in the aetiology of cardiovascular disease. Pocket Reference to Comprehensive Lipid Testing and Management provides an overview of the purpose of lipid testing, diagnosis and lipid profiles as well as the goals of treatment and pharmacological management of lipid levels. The book is divided into two parts, one covering lipid testing and one covering lipid management in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
