Class I
a. LDL-C should be <100 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence: A)
b. If baseline LDL-C is ≥100 mg/dL, initiate LDL-lowering drug therapy. (Level of Evidence: A)
c. If on-treatment LDL-C is ≥100 mg/dL, intensify LDL-lowering drug therapy (may require LDL-lowering drug combination). (Level of Evidence: A)
d. If triglycerides are 200 to 499 mg/dL, non-HDL-C should be <130 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence:B)
e. Therapeutic options to reduce non HDL - C are more intense LDL - C lowering therapy. (Level of Evidence:B)
f. If triglycerides are ≥500 mg/dL, therapeutic options to prevent pancreatitis are fibrate or niacin before LDL-lowering therapy; and treat LDL-C to goal after triglyceride-lowering therapy. Achieve non-HDL-C <130 mg/dL if possible. (Level of Evidence:C)
