ACR – Albumin to creatinine ratio, LDL – Low density lipoprotein.

* Target levels:

Blood pressure: <130/80 for those patients that have diabetes and/or chronic kidney disease and 140/90 for all other patients.

LDL < 2.0 mmol/L, ACR < 40, Fasting Blood Glucose (<7 mmol/L, > 4 mmol/L), HbA1c < 7.0%.

† Patients that did not have established cardiovascular disease, diabetes or chronic kidney disease, but were at high risk for cardiovascular disease based on the presence of at least three of the following cardiovascular risk factors: age (males ≥ 45, females ≥ 55), smoker, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
