Hyperlipidemia, dyslipoproteinemia and apolipoproteinopathia--classification and risk of atheroslcerosis. Part I: Principles of classification and methods of dyslipoproteinemia determination.
This paper sums up new findings in the field of pathogenetic relations between lipid and lipoprotein metabolical disorders on the one hand and the risk of early forms of atherosclerosis on the other hand. Detail classification of disorders proceeds from precise clinical and biochemical criteria, genetic considerations and therapeutical aspects. It provides definitions of hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, normolipidemic (latent) dyslipoproteinemia, secondary hyperlipidemia, apolipoproteinopathia and relatively harmless (benign) hyperlipidemia. The paper provides detail tables and systematic graphs.
