Overview:
The Endocrine Society’s 2019 Clinical Practice Guideline: Primary Prevention of ASCVD and T2DM in Patients at Metabolic Risk updates previous recommendations on this topic from the 2008 guideline – particularly those on elevated lipids and blood pressure – to reflect more recent data. The guideline addresses the population of individuals with components of the metabolic syndrome who do not yet have diagnosed ASCVD or T2DM and the steps that can be taken to prevent these two diseases. The guideline focuses on screening for key risk factors, and encourages behavioral, nutritional, and medical management for these patients. This case-based presentation will apply the guideline recommendations to problem solve various clinical scenarios.
