BREAKING: New cholesterol guidelines released March 2026!
As a cardiologist, I'm breaking down the 3 MAJOR changes and what they mean for YOU.
???? 3 BIG CHANGES:
1️⃣ LOWER LDL TARGETS:
- Very high risk: less than 55 mg/dL (NEW!)
- High risk: less than 70 mg/dL
- Intermediate risk: less than 100 mg/dL
2️⃣ NEW BLOOD TEST - Lp(a):
- Everyone should get tested ONCE
- Genetic marker for heart disease
- High Lp(a) = 40% higher heart attack risk
3️⃣ EARLIER TREATMENT:
- Screen kids at age 9 if family history
- Treat young adults with LDL more than 160
- "Lower for longer is better"
