Heart health: the numbers and the levers
Cholesterol and LDL targets by risk, the statin evidence, blood pressure categories, the exercise dose, salt, alcohol, the Nordic diet and stress — each topic with its published numbers.

How the topics fit together
Cardiovascular risk is not a stack of separate problems — it is one system, and the levers overlap: the same salt cut that lowers blood pressure also makes the DASH-Nordic pattern cheaper to follow; the same exercise that lowers LDL also lowers the stress that raises blood pressure; the same alcohol cut improves pressure, weight and sleep at once. That is why the guideline approach is total risk, not single numbers, and why the boring combinations beat the exciting single fixes.
Reference, not medical advice. The targets on these pages are population guidelines — your own targets are set by a clinician from your total risk, history and tests. Chest pain, breathlessness at rest or fainting are emergency symptoms, not reading material.
About the numbers
Thresholds and targets follow the ESC 2021 cardiovascular prevention guideline and the ESC/EAS lipid guideline; drug evidence follows Cochrane; the diet and salt figures follow WHO and the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. Each topic page names its source.
