new ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines that focus MORE on statins...LESS on non-statins...and ABANDON LDL goals

You'll hear a lot about the new ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines that focus MORE on statins...LESS on non-statins...and ABANDON LDL goals.

We've all been taught to aim for LDL targets...such as < 100 mg/dL.

But this approach is NOT based on evidence. Statin trials used specific DOSES...they didn't titrate doses to a specific LDL GOAL.
