Cardiovascular Guideline Releases
Posted: 2016-10-13
Two guidelines have recently been released: The 2016 Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidemia for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in the Adult and the 2016 European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis (ESC/EAS) Guidelines on the Management of Dyslipidaemias. The European guidelines have a substantive lifestyle intervention section for risk reduction; and the Canadian guidelines promote a food and dietary-pattern approach and suggest that a dietitian provide advice and follow up.
