Main lines of research
• Observational study of the effect in clinical practice of anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies.
• Study of number and size of lipoprotein particles by NMR in patients with premature ischaemia.
• Clinical studies about the diagnosis and treatment of lipoprotein metabolism disorders, including the
degree of control of dyslipidemia and the related factors.
• Effect of an intensive intervention on lifestyle with an hipocaloric Mediterranean diet, physical activity
and behavior therapy for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients with obesity and high
