📢 Hot off the press in Journal of Clinical Lipidology: LDL-C management just got clearer: “Lower for longer is better.” This new guidance from the National Lipid Association brings no-nonsense, risk-based recommendations for real-world practice. ✅ LDL-C is causal ✅ Lowering it reduces events

New JACC/ACC performance measures tighten LDL targets to <55 mg/dL for high-risk ASCVD—pushing earlier and more aggressive lipid management. Will this shift change clinician behavior in real-world prevention? Can we overcome existing inertia? jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
