Draft:ATPIII

Submission declined on 9 August 2024 by Mgp28 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: The references simply describe / list the guidelines. No independent coverage to show guidelines are sufficiently notable to merit a separate Wikipedia article.
I previously deleted the risk assessment section and requested revision deletion. This is copied from a US government document so I don't think the revision deletion is needed. I have undone that edit. But the risk assessment section still needs revision. For example, it refers to tables that are not in the article. Mgp28 (talk) 06:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

ATP III (Adult Treatment Panel 3) is a set of guidelines for treating adults who have cardiovascular disease.^[1]

Risk Assessment

The guidelines are as followed:

Determine lipoprotein levels and obtain a complete lipoprotein profile after a 9 to 12 hour fast.
Identify if there is the presence of clinical atherosclerotic disease that equates to high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) events (CHD risk equivalent)
Determine presence of major risk factors (other than LDL)
If 2+ risk factors (other than LDL) are present without CHD or CHD risk equivalent, assess 10-year (short-term) CHD risk (see Framingham tables). Three levels of 10-year risk
Determine risk category
Initiate therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) if LDL is above goal
Consider adding drug therapy if LDL exceeds levels shown in Step 5 table
Identify metabolic syndrome and treat, if present, after 3 months of TLC
Treat elevated triglycerides^[2]

Current Status

ATP III was intended to be updated to ATP IV in 2011, but was postponed several times and was eventually scrapped for partner organizations to come up with their own guidelines in 2013.^[3]
