NLA Recommendations for Patient-Centered Management of Dyslipidemia

The National Lipid Association (NLA) released new recommendations for patient-centered management of dyslipidemia. In these recommendations, which were published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, the NLA's Expert Panel re-affirms the importance of cholesterol goals for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. The recommendations should serve as guidance to clinicians for treating patients with dyslipidemia. (Jul 2014)
