New cholesterol guidelines just dropped. Big changes: • LDL treatment targets are back • Risk assessment starting at age 30 • Lp(a) screening recommended at least once • ApoB highlighted as a key marker • Expanded use of coronary calcium scoring And one thing notably missing: No HDL targets. No cholesterol ratio focus. No recommendation to raise HDL. The theme: identify risk earlier and reduce lifetime exposure to atherogenic lipoproteins. What do you think about these changes? #familymedicine #
