Coronary heart disease is the principal cause of death in all
Western countries. Abnormalities in the serum lipids are one of the
major risk factors widely recognised as leading to this epidemic of
heart disease. These abnormalities occur very com monly in the
general community and in general practice, and practitioners are
pre vailed upon daily to provide specific advice about diet and
cholesterol and to interpret chemical estimations. This is a very
emotive area of medicine, one where often the patients most active
in seeking advice have the least to gain. On the other hand, there
may be young people carrying a severe coronary risk, knowingly or
not, who prefer to avoid risk factor in tervention. There are
strong vested interests in the commercial world who would prefer to
overlook any therapeutic value of dietary modification for selected
in dividuals, and others who see great merit in a particular diet.
The pharmaceutical in dustry has a vested interest in the
cholesterol story as well. The individual doctor needs to decide
for himself whether the cholesterol issue requires action or not,
and for this he needs access to up to date and relevant data. This
is one of the purposes of this book. The use of lipid-lowering
therapy is usually quite a straightforward exercise for any medical
practitioner, once the decision has been taken to initiate it.
