2015 Philippine Dyslipidemia Guidelines

The Philippine Heart Association, the Philippine Lipid and Atherosclerosis Society, and the Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, collaborated to develop the 2015 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidemia in the Philippines (2015 CPG). The main objective for this document is to develop clinical guidelines in the management of Filipino patients who are diagnosed with elevated cholesterol.

The physician may employ the recommendations confidently in caring for most patients; however, this CPG is meant to define practices that meet the needs of patients in most circumstances. The ultimate decision must be made by the Filipino physician and patient together, and should not be a replacement for clinical judgment.

Everyone deserves a healthy heart and a healthy life. This is why the PHA makes it its mission to improve cardiovascular health. Every Filipino’s heart health matters to us. A healthier heart is important so that you can live longer- to enjoy life’s little pleasures: cherish the special moments, enjoy those summer getaways, travel and fulfill that bucket list, spend those weekend mornings playing a round or two of golf with friends, enjoy beautiful and perfect sunsets in your favorite hideaway, relish dining out experiences with family and friends, and take great delight in the company of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Throughout our existence for the last sixty eight years, our programs, our advocacies, our campaigns and efforts are poured toward one goal- to improve cardiovascular health. Every Filipino’s heart health matters to us.

We are the Philippine Heart Association.

We are here because your heart matters.
