Treatment goal for low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐c) for people with very high and high cardiovascular disease risk. ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; BP, blood pressure; CKD, chronic kidney disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9; SCORE, Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation; T1DM, type 1 DM; T2DM, type 2 DM; TC, total cholesterol. Moderate CVD risk: young people (T1DM < 35 years; T2DM < 50 years) with DM duration < 10 years, without other risk factors; calculated SCORE > 1% and < 5% for 10‐year risk of fatal CVD/; LDL‐c goal is 2.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL). Low CVD risk: calculated SCORE < 1% for 10‐year risk of fatal CVD; LDL‐c goal 3.0 mmol/L (116 mg/dL). Adapted from Mach et al. and EACS Guidelines v.11.0 [7, 16]
