Lipid Association of India

@serioustaurean @Hragy @anish_koka Must read this article. japi.org/article/japi-7…. It may answer many of your queries.

@Hragy Have always had an issue with this. Too aggressive without population level data. “Indians get IHD earlier & more severe” cannot be reason enough to push for very low LDL targets. That’s the pitch for injectables @anish_koka

@Hragy Great comments. We’ve published an article addressing these questions: Does Adopting Western LDL-C Targets Expose Indians to a Higher Risk of C V Events? Expert Opinion from the LAI (JAPI, Oct 2024). A must-read on LDL-C targets in Indians—it answers many key queries raised here.
