Is is characterized by elevated triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol and elevated concentrations of small aterogenic LDL particles. The basic step in treatment should be always a lifestyle changes, especially changes in diet, weight optimization and ban of smoking. Pharmacotherapy DLP is indicated if a patient is in very high or high risk of fatal cardiovascular event during next 10 years and if (at the same time) is LDL-cholesterol higher than its target level. Pharmacotherapy is based on statins therapy, in case of their intolerance ezetimibe.
