Mixed dyslipidemia represents a heterogenic group of lipid disorders. Cardiovascular events are the main complications of this disease
(atherogenic dyslipidemia), acute pancreatitis may be caused by severe hypertriglyceridemia. Detailed assessment of lipid parameters
helps with better estimation of patient’s risk and appropriate hypolipidemic treatment. Statins are the first choice treatment for mixed
dyslipidemia (except the severe hypertriglyceridemia). Nevertheless, even patients on adequate dose of statins often have a high residual
risk, which could be decreased by another hypolipidemic drug. Authors present up-to-day treatment of mixed dyslipidemia including
combination therapy in this review.
