Overview
A meeting of European experts in cardiovascular (CV) disease and lipids was convened in Paris, November 2014, where an important problem of preventive cardiology – residual vascular risk done by atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) – was discussed. On the basis of discussion have the experts summarised a consensus concerning AD, its CV risk and up to date evidence of combined therapy with statin and fenofibrate on CV risk. Atherogenic dyslipidemia should be the secondary aim of dyslipidemia treatment, because it is a reason of residual vascular risk. Non-HDL-cholesterol should be the secondary target of AD treatment, which is a most unexpensive and easiest marker of residual vascular risk. Combined therapy with statin and fenofibrate is safe, well tolerated and reduces plasma atherogenity and CV events in patients with AD and high CV risk, type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
Key words:
atherogenic dyslipidemia – cardiovascular risk – combined therapy – fenofibrate – statins – triglycerides
