Cholesterol levels (LDL) are directly linked to cardiac health.

The cardiovascular risk is determined based on –

  • cholesterol levels
  • metabolic dysfunction
  • family history
  • genetics
  • smoking
  • Weight, etc.

10-year or elevated 30-year risk factors are evaluated.

The risk factors are classified as low, medium, or high.

The updated guidelines for LDL levels to be targeted-

  • Below 100mg/dl –for people at borderline risk
  • Below 70mg/dl – for intermediate risk
  • Below 55mg /dl – for low-risk people

Prescribing statins in your 30s significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues.

Statins are the first-line therapy due to several benefits –

  • Lower cholesterol (LDL) synthesis in the liver.
