Absolute #cardiovascular disease risk assessment identifies patients likely to derive the most benefit from lowering LDL-C concentration. A shared-decision making approach to treatment is recommended for a patient with a normal LDL-C and elevated cardiovascular disease risk, to weigh the expected benefits and risk of adverse effects of #pharmacological therapy. This and other aspects of managing hypercholesterolaemia are discussed in the new issue of Australian Prescriber. https://t.co/j7zZTAEJ3O
