Clinical guidelines should be based on the best available evidence and are of
great importance for patient care and disease prevention. In this respect, the
2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association report is highly
appreciated and well-recognized. The report included critical questions
concerning hypercholesterolaemia, but its translation into a clinical guideline
initiated intense debate worldwide because of the recommendation to switch from a
treat-to-target approach for low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol to a statin dose-based strategy.
