Health, Catapano (Sisa): “For patients at very high risk, LDL cholesterol must be less than 55 mg/dl”

“Depending on the level of risk, it is important to stay within certain values ​​of LDL cholesterol, commonly called ‘bad cholesterol’. For high-risk subjects, it is necessary to try to stay away from all values ​​above 70 mg/dl and, for very high-risk patients, 55 mg/dl”. This was stated by Alberico Catapano, president of Sisa, the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis, speaking at the Novartis campaign ‘Da Quore a Cuore’.
