2018 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol

Executive Summary: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Scott M Grundy, Neil J Stone, Alison L Bailey et al. - Circulation

The 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol guideline executive summary introduced risk enhancers, coronary artery calcium scoring for shared decision-making, and LDL-cholesterol thresholds for escalating therapy to PCSK9 inhibitors. The guideline shifted the paradigm from fixed-dose statin therapy toward personalized, risk-based LDL management.
