Abstract
The past decades have seen evidence accumulate in favor of ever lower LDL cholesterol goals. Some worry that there is a point at which the harm of a low LDL may overtake the benefits. Additionally, newer agents are needed to help achieve these low levels of LDL and to help raise HDL. This chapter reviews some of the trends and future directions in the management of hyperlipidemia.
