Abstract
Dyslipidemia is one of the most important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic disease and its control, through well-proven therapies, allows an optimal risk management over time. LDL-cholesterol targets are well defined by international guidelines and based on individual cardiovascular risk. As guidelines evolve, also laboratory reports need to do the same, including lipid reference values by cardiovascular risk classes, to avoid misunderstandings and inappropriate lipid-lowering therapy withdrawal. The aim of the present joint document from the Italian Society of Cardiology (SIC) and the Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology - Lab Medicine (SIBioC) is to analyze the importance of cardiovascular risk estimation, therapeutical targets, and crucial elements about dyslipidemia in laboratory tests, as well as to suggest a shared proposal for the report of lipid profile parameters to be applied to all clinical scenarios of our daily practice.
