So the lipid management is nutrition and lifestyle and ultimately pharmacology. And the good thing, in the year 2024, there is almost nobody outside of a rare genetic lipidosis that you cann get to a pretty good goal of therapy to eliminate atherosclerosis. But those people do require drug treatment.
