Summary of Key Recommendations for the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce ASCVD Risk in Adults

A. Heart-healthy lifestyle habits should be encouraged for all individuals

B. The appropriate intensity of statin therapy should be initiated or continued

Class I
"1.Clinical ASCVD which includes acute coronary syndromes, history of MI, stable or unstable angina, coronary or other arterial revascularization, stroke, TIA, or peripheral arterial disease presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin (Level of Evidence: A) "
  • Age 75 y and no safety concerns: High-intensity statin.
  • Age >75 y or safety concerns: Moderate-intensity statin.
"2.Primary prevention – Primary LDL-C ‡190 mg/dL (Level of Evidence: B) "
  • Rule out secondary causes of hyperlipidemia
  • Age !21 y: High-intensity statin
"3.Primary preventiondDiabetes 40–75 years of age and LDL-C 70–189 mg/dL (Level of Evidence: A) "
  • Moderate-intensity statin
"4. Primary prevention – No diabetes 40–75 years of age and LDL-C 70–189 mg/dL (Level of Evidence: C) "
  • Estimate 10-y ASCVD risk using the Risk Calculator based on the Pooled Cohort Equationsy in those NOT receiving a statin; estimate risk every 4–6 y (Level of Evidence: B) "
  • Re-emphasize heart-healthy lifestyle habits and address other risk factors


C. Regularly monitor adherence to lifestyle and drug therapy with lipid and safety assessments

Class I
"1.Assess adherence, response to therapy, and adverse effects within 4–12 wk following statin initiation or change in therapy
  • Measure a fasting lipid panel (Level of Evidence: A) "
  • Screen and treat type 2 diabetes according to current practice guidelines. Heart-healthy lifestyle habits should be encouraged to prevent progression to diabetes (Level of Evidence: B) "
  • Less than anticipated therapeutic response: (Level of Evidence: A) "
    • Reinforce improved adherence to lifestyle and drug therapy
    • Evaluate for secondary causes of hyperlipidemia if indicated
  • Regularly monitor adherence to lifestyle and drug therapy every 3–12 mo once adherence has been established. Continue assessment of adherence for optimal ASCVD risk reduction and safety (Level of Evidence: A) "

D. In individuals intolerant of the recommended intensity of statin therapy, use the maximally tolerated intensity of statin

Class I
"1. If there are muscle or other symptoms, establish that they are related to the statin (Level of Evidence: A) "



Class III (Harm)
"1. RECOMMENDATION 1 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. RECOMMENDATION 2 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class III (No Benefit)
"1. RECOMMENDATION 1 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. RECOMMENDATION 2 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. RECOMMENDATION 1 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. RECOMMENDATION 2 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIb
"1. RECOMMENDATION 1 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. RECOMMENDATION 2 HERE (Level of Evidence: C)"
