Atherogenic dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: current and future treatment options

Dyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, which in turn is the commonest cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes. This highlights the importance of appropriate management of diabetic dyslipidaemia. Management is typically multifactorial and includes dietary recommendations, routine physical exercise, aggressive control of other lifestyle risk factors, and for many patients drug intervention. Future drug treatments will increasingly target not only mechanisms that might improve glucose and LDL cholesterol blood levels, but also improve other facets of diabetic dyslipidaemia, atherogenesis and vascular risk.

Key Words: diabetes • dyslipidaemia • atherogenesis • peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor • PPAR.
