New imaging modalities and novel biomarkers allow for more accurate assessment of patient risk and minimize the risk of over- or undertreating patients. Major cardiovascular medicine societies have incorporated new diagnostic modalities in their guidelines to aid clinical decision-making for primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD. This review presents commonly encountered cases relevant to estimating and reducing ASCVD risk based on available guidelines and expert opinion. ER -
