PEER simplified lipid guideline 2023 update – Prevention and management of cardiovascular disease in primary care (2023) Michael R. Kolber

Description

Updated clinical practice guidelines (from 2015) providing a simplified, evidence-based approach to lipid management for preventing and managing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in primary care. Recommendations focus on statins as first-line therapy, lifestyle modifications, and review new evidence on PCSK9 inhibitors and omega-3 fatty acids, while recommending against targeting specific lipid levels or using advanced markers (lipoprotein a, apolipoprotein B, or coronary artery calcium levels).
