As part of its strategic plan, NHLBI is embarking on a new guideline effort aimed at developing an evidence-based, comprehensive, integrated set of clinical guidelines for cardiovascular risk reduction directed principally at primary care practitioners to help adult patients reduce their risk for CVD.

Concurrent with the development of the integrated CV risk reduction guideline, NHLBI will update existing guidelines on the prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood cholesterol/dyslipidemia (ATP III), hypertension (JNC 7), and overweight/obesity (Obesity Guidelines).
