ABSTRACT
The new US guidelines for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease have substantially changed the approach to hyperlipidemia treatment. However, the impact of those recommendations in other populations is limited. In the present study, we evaluated the potential implications of those recommendations in the Brazilian population.
