When it comes to preventing heart disease, one of the most
important factors is cholesterol and new international guidelines
are rewriting how we think about it. Experts now say the focus
should be on lifetime exposure to ldl cholesterol (the “Bad”
cholesterol) and on lowering it earlier, for longer. That shift
has led to a major update in global guidelines, including new
risk calculators, lower target levels, and greater use of earlier
screening and preventive medication in some patients. Joining Pat
to explain what this means for patients in Ireland is Dr Roisin
Colleran, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Mater Private
Network.
