Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,370 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

ATP III (Adult Treatment Panel 3) is a set of guidelines for treating adults who have cardiovascular disease.^[1]

Risk Assessment[edit]

The guidelines are as followed:

Determine lipoprotein levels and obtain a complete lipoprotein profile after a 9 to 12 hour fast.
Identify if there is the presence of clinical atherosclerotic disease that equates to high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) events (CHD risk equivalent)
Determine presence of major risk factors (other than LDL)
If 2+ risk factors (other than LDL) are present without CHD or CHD risk equivalent, assess 10-year (short-term) CHD risk (see Framingham tables). Three levels of 10-year risk
Determine risk category
Initiate therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) if LDL is above goal
Consider adding drug therapy if LDL exceeds levels shown in Step 5 table
Identify metabolic syndrome and treat, if present, after 3 months of TLC
Treat elevated triglycerides^[2]

Current Status[edit]

ATP III was intended to be updated to ATP IV in 2011, but was postponed several times and was eventually scrapped for partner organizations to come up with their own guidelines in 2013.^[3]
