Overview

This article summarised opinion of the European Society for Atherosclerosis on the causal relationship between low density lipoprotein (LDL) and the development of atherosclerosis. The fact that there is a clear causal relationship between the LDL concentration and the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASKVO) is evidenced by congenital lipid metabolism disorders and results of prospective epidemiological studies, Mendelian randomized trials, and randomized controlled trials. It is documented that the effect of LDL exposure on ASKVO development is cumulative; the additive effect of other risk factors is also discussed. In conclusion the facts, underlying the rational approach to the therapy of patients with dyslipidemia, are summarized.

Key words:

atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease – LDL – low density lipoprotein – EAS
