Highlights |
• | Primary prevention is complex and needs the consent of a patient without disease. |
• | Primary prevention requires adoption of new behaviours or taking medications. |
• | Reduction of LDL-C is an excellent target for reducing risk of a cardiovascular event. |
• | The patient must be convinced that LDL-C is a key marker of cardiovascular risk. |
Abstract |
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol has been established as a powerful cardiovascular risk factor; its reduction provides a clinical benefit in primary cardiovascular prevention, irrespective of the characteristics of the patients treated. It is useful to tailor low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets according to the magnitude of cardiovascular risk (low, high or very high) in order to reduce the cardiovascular risk as fully as possible. In order to provide a uniform approach, it is necessary to propose recommendations for good practice, defining strategies for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. It is also necessary to know their merits, to analyse their practical limits and to propose adaptations, taking into account limitations and national specifics. This position paper aims to analyse the contribution and limits, as well as the adaptation to French practice, of 2019 and 2021 European Society of Cardiology recommendations for the management of lipid variables and cardiovascular prevention.
