Today, in the era of the statins (cholesterol lowering drugs),
there is no longer any doubt about the value of lowering blood
cholesterol levels. This book chronicles the controversy that
swirled around the 'lipid hypothesis' of atherosclerosis for so
many years. In fact, 'the lower the better' is the position of many
clinicians. However, getting to this point has been a long uphill
battle marked by heated debate and sometimes violent disagreement.
The history of this controversy is told here for its own sake and
because remembering it may help us avoid similar mistakes in the
future.
* Dr. Steinberg and his colleagues have published over 400 papers
relating to lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis
reflecting the prominence these authors have in the
community.
* Chronicles the miraculous power of the statins to prevent heart
attacks and save lives, of great interest to the many manufacturers
of these drugs
* Discusses new targets for intervention based on a better
understanding of the molecular basis of atherosclerosis
