Abstract | Objective: To discuss factors surrounding development of the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) cholesterol guidelines and reasons they have not yet been adopted by clinicians. Summary: The new ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines were released in November 2013. The guidelines are based on randomized controlled trial evidence and, if fully implemented, are likely to result in a reduction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in Americans. Despite this, the guidelines have not been adopted by clinicians. This is because the guidelines are missing something very important-guidance for the clinician and the public. Guidelines are supposed to give guidance to clinicians on how to manage the various clinical presentations encountered in daily practice and to help them translate science into practice. Guidelines are also supposed to help the public define dyslipidemias in a way they can understand and thus seek treatment and actively follow the progress of their treatment. Conclusion: The National Lipid Association (NLA) stepped in to help fill the void in the ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines and offered recommendations for treating individual patients who have increased risk of ASCVD. The NLA recommendations give clinicians the expert guidance and LDL-C goal rudder they need to successfully manage their patient's cholesterol. |
