Dietary Management of Elevated Blood Lipids

  • Chapter
Disorders of Lipid Metabolism

Abstract

High levels of plasma cholesterol, in particular LDL-cholesterol, are associated with premature atherosclerosis and heart disease. Therefore, it is important to know how drug therapy and dietary management can be used to lower blood cholesterol levels. The effect of dietary management, particularly of dietary lipids, will be considered first, since for most people this approach to treatment of of hyperlipidemia is tried before drug therapy.
