Optimization of the cholesterol profile is the corner stone of treatment for patients with coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. Once the presence of any plaque, anywhere in the vascular tree is demonstrated, the target for the Low Density Lipoprotein is 70 or below. Depending on the individual patient’s history and risk factors, in some instances a more aggressive lipid lowering strategy may be called for. Apo-protein-B and Lipo-protein (a) are two of the parameters that can be used to guide this determination.
