LDL cholesterol management

At what LDL levels (current vs target) is this prescribed?

LDL targets remain the exact same as we have always educated on this forum: Less than 100 for all Indians Less than 70 if you have diabetes or known heart disease Probably even lower if further higher risk…. If control is not possible with statins or unable to control despite statins…..this is a wonderful option
