Abstract
The assumption has been made that if elevated lipid levels (mainly cholesterol) are lowered, the atherosclerosis risk rate will be decreased as well. Though eminently logical, this lipid-atherosclerosis hypothesis still requires rigorous, statistically sound proof. To this end, several large national and international clinical intervention trials have been funded. One, a secondary intervention trial, utilizes the partial ileal bypass operation as the means for cholesterol lowering. Until the lipid-atherosclerosis hypothesis is confirmed or denied by clinical trial, we believe judicious and rational hyperlipidemia management is indicated, in the light of current knowledge.
