Giugliano, MD, from Brigham & Women's Hospital discussed how the guidelines, which at the time replaced 10-year-old direction on how to care for patients, and have been seen as controversial in some ways needed to be updated in a "consensus statement of experts" to address the changing landscape of patient care.
