Big changes in cholesterol guidelines are here.

These new updates focus on earlier prevention and lower LDL targets to reduce your risk of heart disease. ❤️

Many people may now need treatment sooner than before.

Ask your provider about:
✔️ Your LDL goal
✔️ Your risk score
✔️ Lipoprotein(a) testing
✔️ Coronary calcium score
Your heart health starts earlier than you think.
