Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Central illustration. Coloured bars in the left panel show the impact of age and ethnicity on an individual's lifetime ASCVD risk mediated by cumulative exposure to LDL-C. Even younger individuals with a greater cumulative exposure to LDL-C, despite their age, may have a higher overall risk compared to older individuals with a lower cumulative exposure to LDL-C.Image, graphical abstract.
