New Guidelines Call for More Aggressive Cholesterol Treatment According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), some 53 million Americans have high cholesterol and the U.S. death toll from heart disease is about 500,000 a year. To try and reduce these numbers and prolong lives, the NIH has formed new guidelines for physicians treating people at risk for heart disease. The new, more aggressive guidelines, released Tuesday, May 15, add diabetes and metabolic syndrome to the conditions indicating an increased risk for heart disease, recommend different tests to screen for high cholesterol, and offer modified standards for good and bad cholesterol. The NIH expects the numbers of Americans using prescribed cholesterol drugs and following prescribed, cholesterol-lowering diets to grow sharply For more information on this story, click on the following link: http://www.diabetes.org/enews/051701_Cholesterol.asp 8.
