From guidelines to practice: LDL-C achievement in very high cardiovascular risk patients - analysis of the EDHIPO MARCA registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with dyslipidemia playing a key role in its progression. Despite advances in lipid-lowering therapy (LLT), LDL-C (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) goal achievement remains suboptimal. This study evaluated LDL-C goal attainment in Colombian patients with very high cardiovascular risk (CVR) due to coronary artery disease (CAD) following ESC/EAS guidelines updates.

Methods

EDHIPO MARCA (Evaluación De adherencia a la terapia HIPOlipemiante en pacientes de Muy Alto Riesgo CArdiovascular) is a retrospective, multicenter study assessing LDL-C goal achievement in patients with CAD. Data were collected from previous coronary angiogram reports and medical records across 11 Colombian h
