The Journal of Clinical Lipidology is published to support the diverse array of medical professionals who work to reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from dyslipidemia and associated disorders of lipid metabolism. The Journal's readership encompasses a broad cross-section of the medical community, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians, as well as those involved in the treatment of such disorders as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The Journal also addresses allied health professionals who treat the patient base described above, such as pharmacists, nurse practitioners and dietitians. Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.

《臨床血脂學雜志》的出版是為了支持各種各樣的醫學專業人員，他們致力于降低血脂異常和相關脂質代謝紊亂的發病率和死亡率。該雜志的讀者群涵蓋了醫學界的廣泛領域，包括心臟病學家、內分泌學家和初級保健醫師，以及參與治療糖尿病、高血壓和肥胖等疾病的人。該雜志還介紹了治療上述患者基礎的聯合健康專家，如藥劑師、護士和營養師。由于臨床血脂學的范圍很廣，該雜志所討論的主題也同樣多樣。典型文章探討了在治療環境中進行的脂質學，藥理學研究的最新進展，治療和試驗報告，案例研究，生活方式改變的影響，以及對從業者感興趣的類似學術材料。雖然優先選擇直接實用的材料，但支持血脂學的科學是由專家貢獻者提出的，以便我們的讀者可以立即獲得循證方法來減少心血管和冠心病。該雜志的各部分將介紹開創性研究和開展這些研究的臨床醫生、案例研究、倫理標準和行為、專業指導，如ATP和NCE、編輯評論、讀者來信、國家脂質協會（NLA）新聞和即將發布的事件信息，以及NLA年度科學報告的摘要。各分會在適當時舉行的會議和科學論壇。
