- Evacetrapib increases HDL but does nothing for patient-oriented outcomes
- Statin therapy decreases cardiac events
- Small reduction in CV outcome after ischemic stroke with lower LDL target, but also harms; no change in all-cause mortality
- Overview of new ACC/AHA lipid guidelines: here we go again
