Risk Stratification

Risk stratification is the process of categorizing patients into different risk levels (e.g., low, intermediate, high, very high) to guide the intensity of dyslipidemia-management. The 2026-acc-aha-dyslipidemia-guidelines provides frameworks for this stratification.

The 2026-acc-aha-dyslipidemia-guidelines provide the primary clinical framework for cardiovascular risk stratification based on LDL-C thresholds and overall ASCVD risk.
