whether cholesterol needs to go even lower than previously thought for some patients
April 2004
Experts are now debating whether cholesterol needs to go even lower than previously thought for some patients.

This target will probably be lowered to 70 mg/dL... especially for patients with unstable heart disease. In fact, some experts now say "go as low as you can go" in these patients.
