🙌 Today the 2026 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia has been released.
📍Key updates shaping contemporary lipid management:
1️⃣ Lp(a) measurement is now recommended at least once in all adults for ASCVD risk assessment.
2️⃣ PREVENT equations replace the Pooled Cohort Equations for estimating 10-year and 30-year ASCVD risk.
3️⃣ LDL-C and non-HDL-C treatment goals return as central therapeutic targets alongside percentage LDL reduction.
4️⃣ Earlier intervention is emphasized to reduce lifelong exposure to atherogenic lipoproteins.
5️⃣ Broader integration of ApoB, CAC scoring, and modern lipid-lowering therapies to refine risk stratification and treatment.
👆 An important step forward in translating decades of lipid research into clinical practice and cardiovascular prevention.
