Publication AbstractsLipid lowering therapy and military aviatorsKhan MA, Amroliwalla FKAviat Space Environ Med 1996; 67:867-71 AbstractThis article discusses the role of the newer lipid lowering agents (statins and fibrates) for the treatment of hyperlipidermia in military aviators. Special emphasis will be on long-term safety and the effects of these durgs on CNS functions pertinent to aviators. We propose that these new lipid lowering agents, such as hydrophilic statins and newer fibrates are reasonably safe in aviators with restricted flying duties, subject to long-term surveillance by a specialist.
