| New cholesterol guidelines recommend a more personalized approach in risk assessments, a returned focus on LDL target levels and new drug options for those at highest risk for cardiovascular disease. The guidelines were announced Saturday during the American Heart Association’s annual scientific conference.
The recommendations, set out by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, also discussed the value of using coronary artery calcium scores for some patients and expanded the age range for treatment.
“High cholesterol treatment is not one size fits all, and this guideline strongly establishes the importance of personalized care,” Dr. Michael Valentine, president of the American College of Cardiology, said in a press release.
