Lipid Manager

Guidance for lowering ASCVD risk by managing LDL-C and triglycerides.

The ACC Lipid Manager app (formerly LDL-C Manager) provides 4-tools-in-1 to help clinicians manage a patient’s triglycerides and LDL-C from therapy initiation through treatment calibration with the goal of lowering ASCVD risk:

-ASCVD Risk Estimator: Calculate pretreatment ASCVD risk and determine the appropriateness of statin therapy for the patient

-LDL-C Lowering Therapy tool: Assess response to a statin, and determine if other therapies should be considered and in what order

-Statin Intolerance tool: Evaluate the patient for possible statin intolerance, and determine appropriate next steps

-Hypertriglyceridemia tool: Use the app to see tailored consensus recommendations for both lifestyle intervention and pharmacological management of high-risk patients with persistent hypertriglyceridemia

The information and recommendations in this App are not meant to represent the only or best course of care nor replace clinical judgement. Therapeutic options should be determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider.
