Handbook of Lipidology

Lipidology is the scientific study and medical specialty focusing on lipids - biological fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides – and their role in human health and disease, particularly atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). 

This handbook offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of lipid disorders, their historical context, and the evolving landscape of atherosclerosis prevention, building on decades of research and clinical insight, integrating the latest therapeutic advances and epidemiological data.

Beginning with the history, epidemiology and biochemistry, the text explains lipid disorders and their clinical implications, and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, its early detection, and prevention.

This new edition aligns with the latest global standards and recommendations for lipid management, and discusses recent findings in lipid metabolism and genetic predispositions.
