What are ATP III guidelines?
ATP III recommended consideration of drug therapy when 10-year risk for CHD was ≥ 10%. ACC/AHA set a threshold for statin drugs at 7.5% for ASCVD. Even ≥5% risk was considered a therapeutic option for statin therapy. ATP III set the 10% risk threshold based on efficacy and cost effectiveness of drug treatment.
What is NCEP ATP III?

What are the ATP IV guidelines?
The ATP-IV component of the guideline would address following three critical areas: 1) Evidence supporting LDL-C for secondary prevention; 2) Primary prevention of LDL; and 3) Efficacy and safety of major cholesterol drugs.
What is the normal HDL level?
What are optimal levels of HDL cholesterol?
| At risk | Desirable | |
|---|---|---|
| Men | Less than 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) | 60 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L) or above |

What does a high LDL cholesterol mean?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein), sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.
What is the goal of ATP III when it comes to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease?
In ATP III, a primary aim is to match intensity of LDL-lowering therapy with absolute risk. Everyone with elevated LDL cholesterol is treated with lifestyle changes that are effective in lowering LDL levels.
What is a good range for LDL cholesterol?
What should my LDL level be?
| LDL (Bad) Cholesterol Level | LDL Cholesterol Category |
|---|---|
| Less than 100mg/dL | Optimal |
| 100-129mg/dL | Near optimal/above optimal |
| 130-159 mg/dL | Borderline high |
| 160-189 mg/dL | High |
What are the most recent NCEP recommendations for adults?
The most recent of the NCEP recommendations, the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) guidelines, were released in May 2001 and build on the earlier editions and reiterate the importance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction to modify CHD risk.
Do NCEP ATP III guidelines incorporate global risk assessment?
NCEP ATP III guidelines incorporate global risk assessment Am J Manag Care. 2003 Aug;Suppl:1, 3. Authors Antonio M Gotto 1 , NCEP ATP III Affiliation
What is the purpose of ATP III?
The ATP III document is an evidence-based report that provides the scientific rationale for the recommendations contained in the Executive Summary ATP III is constructed on the foundation of ATP I and ATP II, with low density lipoprotein (LDL) continuing to be identified as the primary target of cholesterol lowering therapy.
