Abstract
Aim of the present Consensus Statement is to provide a comprehensive and up to-date document on the pathophysiology, atherogenicity and clinical significance of low density lipoproteins (LDL) subclasses. We sub-divided our Statement in 2 sections: section I discusses the pathophysiology, atherogenicity and measurement issues, while section II is focused on the effects of drugs and lifestlyle modifications. Suggestions for future research in the field are highlighted at the end of section II. Each section includes Conclusions.
Keywords: LDL, subclasses, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk, statement, hypertriglyceridaemia, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, apolipoprotein, chylomicrons

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
