Original MICA educational diagram

Metabolic syndrome: follow the risk factors

A cycle links measurements, targeted investigations, action and reassessment. It organises follow-up without imposing one interval for everyone.

Document: Original educational diagram
Scope: No real examination simulated
Takeaway: Follow each factor over time; metabolic syndrome does not replace individual diagnoses.

Original MICA educational diagram

Cardiovascular risk: start with the clinical setting

The pathway starts with the clinical setting before a calculator is selected. Thresholds from one framework are not automatically transferred to another.

Document: Original educational diagram
Scope: No real examination simulated
Takeaway: State the framework, population and purpose before interpreting a risk result.

LDL-C targets according to risk

Four cards show usual ESC/EAS LDL-C targets in g/L. Percentages refer to reduction from the pretreatment LDL-C.

Document: Original educational diagram
Scope: No real examination simulated
Takeaway: A target is an on-treatment goal; it does not replace risk classification.
