How to ask

Mosaic answers the question you ask. A few habits make the answers sharper.

Name what you want to decide: "Which lipid-lowering options apply to her, and why?" gets an answer with reasons. "Statin?" gets a list.
One question at a time: Two questions in one sentence get one answer that covers both halves thinly. Ask the second as a follow-up.
Ask for the reasoning: "Why?" and "What speaks against it?" are questions Mosaic answers well, with the sources on each side.
Ask what is missing: "Which findings are still open?" and "Which values would change the decision?" use the chart in a way a search cannot.
Use the follow-ups: The questions under an answer keep the context. Clicking one is faster than typing it, and the answer knows what came before.
Ask in your language: German or English, full sentence or three words. Abbreviations your field uses are understood.

Given her history and today's findings, what should I consider next?

Practice guidelineEuropean Society of Cardiology

ESC 2021: in apparently healthy people under 50, SCORE2 estimates the 10-year risk; risk modifiers such as a family history of premature cardiovascular disease, lipoprotein(a) and coronary artery calcium can move a patient across a treatment threshold. At low-to-moderate risk, lipid-lowering treatment should be considered when LDL cholesterol stays at or above 100 mg/dl after lifestyle intervention. Eur Heart J

Her SCORE2 (moderate-risk region, 47 years, non-smoker now, systolic 142, non-HDL 186 mg/dl) is about 3 %, low to moderate for her age.
