3 MAJOR updates to how Cholesterol and Heart Disease are approached just dropped! #heartdisease
The 2026 cholesterol guidelines just changed how heart disease risk is assessed, and three updates matter most. In this short, Dr. John Bartemus breaks down what actually changed and what it means for you.
What you’ll learn:
Why a widely used risk calculator was retired for overestimating 10-year risk by 40 to 50 percent.
Why lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), testing is now recommended for nearly every adult, and why you only need it once.
Why ApoB is a more accurate risk marker than standard LDL for many people.
Read the full breakdown of the 2026 guideline changes here:
