What are the current guidelines for LDL management?
uworld says if 0-1 no cardiovascular risks < 160 is accepted without need for lifestyle change, if 2+ risk then <130, and if CAD / Diabetes < 100. I have also seen <130, <100, <70 respectively from online sources. Anyone have an idea which is correct?
I have my Family Medicine Shelf soon and want to make sure I'm using the right guidelines when I answer the question.
Thanks!
