LDL targets are back — and they’re clear.
Here’s your cheat sheet. 📋
We now have concrete targets based on your risk level:
🔴 Very high risk (heart attack/stroke/CABG): LDL < 55 mg/dL
🟠 High risk: LDL < 70 mg/dL
🟡 Borderline to intermediate risk: LDL < 100 mg/dL
Not sure which category you’re in? That’s the conversation to have with your doctor — and now you have the numbers to bring to that appointment.
Save this post. Screenshot it. Take it with you.
You deserve a clear answer on where you stand. 🤍
Question: Has your doctor ever told you what your LDL target should be — or just that your cholesterol is “a little high”?
