Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2005, Vol 57, Issue
Abstract
The article reviews the key aspects of pathophysiology of diabetic dyslipidemia, its treatment and associated risk of cardiovascular complications. It examines the difference in lipidmetabolism between type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The diagnostic values of particular lipid abnormalitiesas risk predictors for cardiovascular events are analyzed. Guidelines on hypolipemic treatment in diabetes are summarized and commented on. Standard and newly introduced methods as well as new opportunities of hypolipemic treatment are presented.
