Abstract (EN): The recommendations contained in the 2013 cholesterol guidelines may be described as either with or without a direct empirical clinical trial basis. Recommendations without a direct empirical clinical trial basis tend to be controversial. Recommendations with and without a direct empirical clinical trial basis are mixed in the same text while at the same time (rightfully) rejecting previous recommendations, also without a direct empirical clinical trial basis.
