The 2013 American College of Cardiology (ACC) / American Heart Association (AHA) lipid guidelines represented a paradigm shift in the treatment of dyslipidemia. The 2017 American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes make similar recommendations. In a continued effort to improve outcomes and provide quality care, we are contacting you with new clinical guidelines, and talking points to your patients, regarding the use of statins. Patients will need your help "buying in" to statin therapy due to conflicting information in the media and online about risks and benefits.
