Lower cholesterol targets cut cardiovascular events by a third
Original: Low cholesterol targets cut cardiovascular events by 33%
New findings suggest that pushing LDL cholesterol targets lower than current guidelines cuts cardiovascular events by 33%. The results, tied to the EZ-PaVe trial, point to more aggressive lipid-lowering treatment for patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes. Commenters are debating how quickly clinical practice should shift and whether existing guidelines should be revised in light of the data.
Why now: New trial data showing a large reduction in cardiovascular events challenges current cholesterol treatment guidelines.
