Research in lipoprotein metabolism has been a highly successful endeavor. This topic has been among the primary targets for the application of the newest research techniques, leading up to the rapid development of innovative products, international consortia, and multidisciplinary interventions. In addition, translation of basic science into clinical practice has been very efficient. The high prevalence of lipid disorders, the large contribution of these conditions in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular morbidity, and the availability of potent lipid-lowering agents have been determinants of the large impact of these studies in our societies. Despite these remarkable progress, there are large differences in the implementation of the best available evidence to prevent cardiovascular events through correction of plasma lipids concentration among countries. In this special issue of the Revista de Investigación Clínica-Clinical and Translational Investigation we collect five review articles that will not only allow the readers to update their knowledge about new research and therapeutic approaches but also to identify the main clinical challenges to be faced in the majority of the low-and medium-income countries.
