أي نتيجة دهون عند مريض لديه مرض قلبي معروف تحتاج أكثر علاج دوائي مكثف حسب الإرشادات؟

In a client with known heart disease, which lipid result most calls for intensified drug treatment according to guidelines?

1. Normal total cholesterol with a low LDL
2. An LDL that remains high despite a statin
3. A high HDL
4. Triglycerides of 1.2 mmol/L

Answer: B) An LDL that remains high despite a statin. Lowering LDL is the main target for preventing cardiac events, with very low targets in high-risk clients. If it stays high on a statin, ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors are added. A high HDL is generally favourable.
