ForwardPulse: LDL Limbo: How Low Can You Go!
Overview
Through conversation with providers (family practice, cardiology, etc), there has been a concept for reaching as low of a LDL as possible as opposed to any LDL <55 (if indicated). The problem I hope to identify through this education is explore the patient-oriented evidence and if we should aim for this such goal for our patients and which patient population would best benefit.
