29 April 2011 Press Release
European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel provides new guidance for managing elevated triglycerides/low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

In developing guidance for the management of lipid abnormalities typical of cardiometabolic disease, the European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel critically reviewed available evidence from epidemiological, genetic, mechanistic and clinical intervention studies.

The guidance was published today in the European Heart Journal.
