Beverly G. Tchang: Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Women During Pregnancy and Lactation
Beverly G. Tchang, Endocrinologist, Diabetes and Metabolism Specialist at NewYork‑Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medical Center, shared JACC Journal‘s post on X about a recent article by Roger S. Blumenthal et al. adding:
“Congratulations to all professional societies American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, National Lipid Association and leaders Roger Blumenthal who brought this new guideline on lipids and disease prevention together!
Officially recognizing an age as young as 30 for potential medical intervention is a huge step in health preservation .
As an advocate of womens health, I implore everyone to read up particularly on Table 20 since:
- Women in their 30s are still of childbearing age
- Pregnancy can be a significant cardiac risk factor
- Statins no longer carry a blackbox warning during pregnancy but still require judicious use “
Quoting JACC Journal‘s post:
“ACC/AHA and 9 other leading medical associations released an updated clinical guideline for managing dyslipidemia.
About 1 in 4 US adults has high LDL-C, raising risk of heart attack and stroke.”
