Experts Reshape Treatment Guide for Cholesterol
Поскольку я с докторами на эти темы всерьёз не общался, а самому читать некогда, я даже не знал как всё запущено. В целом, происшедшее можно оценить как некое падение градуса анти-холестерольной истерии. Процитирую особо поразившие места:
Patients on statins will no longer need to lower their cholesterol levels to specific numerical targets monitored by regular blood tests, as has been recommended for decades. Simply taking the right dose of a statin will be sufficient, the guidelines say.
Everyone ... should be considered for a statin if his or her risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years is at least 7.5 percent. Doctors are advised to use a new risk calculator that factors in blood pressure, age and total cholesterol levels, among other things.
In a significant departure, the new method also counts strokes as well as heart attacks in its risk calculations, a step that will probably make some additional people candidates for the drugs.
No one has ever asked in a rigorous study if a person’s risk is lower with an LDL of 70 than 90 or 100... The science was never there for the LDL targets... Past committees “made them up out of thin air”
