2013 ACC/AHA Cholesterol Guideline Versus 2004 NCEP ATP III Guideline in the Prediction of Coronary Artery Calcification Progression in a Korean Population

Abstract: BackgroundSince the release of the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines, significant controversy has surrounded the applicability of the new cholesterol guidelines and the Pooled Cohort Equations. In this present study, we investigated whether eligibility for statin therapy determined by the 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines on the management of blood cholesterol is better aligned with the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected by coronary computed tomo… Show more

“…4042 The current approach also has an acceptable number-needed-to-treat to prevent a ASCVD event 43 and is cost-effective by current standards. 44 It is estimated that the 2013 ACC/AHA guideline approach to cholesterol reduction could reduce the number of ASCVD events in the United States by 475,000 in the next decade, compared with the ATP III guideline approach, most of which would occur in older individuals who are at highest risk for ASCVD.…”

“…Recently, Cho et al . 19 reported a higher proportion of eligible candidates for statin therapy according to the ACC/AHA guidelines compared to the ATP-III guidelines in a Korean population (55.0% vs 20.5%); this increase was more evident in people aged >60 years (84.5% vs 26.1%). Overall, it should be taken into account that the risk assessment tools of the two guidelines differ from each other and the ACC/AHA uses a pooled cohort equation to estimate both CHD and stroke events which their prevalence increases in the older population.…”
