Here’s a case – similar to patients we see everyday in the primary care and cardiology offices. (2/n)
72 year-old asymptomatic healthy 💃
BP 117/74, BMI 22
Lipids: TC 270, TG 100 HDL 90 LDL 155
ACC/AHA ASCVD Risk: 10%

Big win for #CAC in 2018 Cholesterol Guidelines just published @CircAHA
#CAC is now recommended for risk reclassification in low & intermediate risk patients to guide decision making for statin therapy

With 5 days to Chol management guidelines update @AHAMeetings..gentle reminder in @JACCJournals: It’s time to accept the #PowerOfZero.
Hope it’s not too late! @rblument1 @hmkyale @MichaelJBlaha @RonBlankstein @ErinMichos @MBittencourtMD.

#1 Going back to early 2000’s when many showed RF-based approach fell short for individual patient management decisions... aspirations for CAC ‘screening’ gained momentum, though progress stalled due to lack of RCT & waiting for prospective cohorts to confirm prognostication
#3, while hard to rationalize @NIH aversion to fund much needed RCT, sig progress with MESA & HNR confirmed CAC risk stratification capacity->In 2010 Class IIa rec for ‘screen-detect disease-treat’. At that time many hoped next guidelines update wud strengthen CAC screening recs
