Core Tip |
Atherogenic dyslipidaemia is characterised by low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and raised triglycerides, this pattern being associated with adverse cardiovascular risk. The fibrate class of drugs has been shown to both elevate HDL-C and reduce triglyceride concentrations. Despite several randomised control trials the data remain conflicting in regards to the use of fibrates in cardiovascular disease management. Our objective is to consolidate and summarise the literature to clarify the current evidence base.
