Guest: Roger Blumenthal, MD The 2026 American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia highlights the CPR framework—Calculate, Personalize, Reclassify, and Reassess—to support individualized atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment and treatment decisions. Dr. Roger Blumenthal, Chair of the Guideline Writing Committee, joins us to explain how clinicians can combine PREVENT risk estimates with risk-enhancing factors, coronary artery calcium scoring, and shared decision-making to improve cardiovascular prevention strategies. Dr. Blumenthal is also the Kenneth Jay Pollin Professor of Cardiology and Director of the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
