Dr. Rajan Bhatt has served as the CEO of Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, since founding the organization in 2012. To augment his professional activities, Dr. Rajan Bhatt holds membership in multiple clinical associations, including the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
The ACC recently published the comprehensive article “Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol” in its official scholarly periodical, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). Although this article appeared in the June 2019 edition, it is the result of a 2018 collaboration with the American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines.
In summation, the “Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol” presents 10 leading ways to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients by effectively managing cholesterol levels. In addition to emphasizing a heart-healthy lifestyle for all individuals throughout their entire lives, the article adds the delivery of high-intensity or moderate-intensity statin therapy for patients in particular age groups with high LDL cholesterol levels or ASCVD diagnoses.
