Cardiovascular disease remains Australia’s leading cause of death, yet many patients with ASCVD are still not achieving recommended LDL cholesterol targets.

In this practical discussion we discuss why LDL targets matter, what the updated Heart Foundation guidance means for everyday practice, and how GPs can overcome treatment inertia using combination therapy and practical practice tools. The interview also highlights the LipidPlan in a Box toolkit, designed to help practices systematically improve lipid management and patient outcomes.
