AbstractCardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality in Mexico as well as the rest of the world, with dyslipidemia being one of the main risk factors. Despite the importance of its epidemiological impact, there is still -among primary care physicians- a lack of knowledge ranging from the basic concepts for diagnosis to the most recent recommendations for treatment. This document consisting of 10 questions is done by experts in this field. A total of 22 recommendations arise using Delphi methodology. The recommendations include the measurement of the lipid profile starting at 20 years of age, the treatment goals for patients according to their risk, the follow-up of patients with dyslipidemia, and the management approach in primary and secondary prevention.Copyright: © 2024 Permanyer.
