Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in the UK.1 Blood choleserol levels are a key risk factor for CVD, and can be modified by both drug treatment and lifestyle changes. In this article, Steve Chaplin considers the available clinical data on a new lipid-modifying therapy, a modified-release formulation of nicotinic acid and laropiprant; and Marc Evans comments on its potential contribution to reducing the risk of CVD.

烟酸/laropiprant:一种新的脂质调节疗法
在英国,心血管疾病(CVD)是导致死亡的主要原因。1血液中的胆固醇水平是CVD的一个关键危险因素,可以通过药物治疗和生活方式的改变来改变。在本文中,Steve Chaplin考虑了一种新的脂质修饰疗法的现有临床数据,一种烟酸和laropiprant的修饰释放制剂;马克·埃文斯评论了它对降低心血管疾病风险的潜在贡献。版权所有©2009 John Wiley &儿子,有限公司
