Achievement of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Targets in Cardiac Rehabilitation: Impact of the 2019 ESC/EAS Dyslipidaemia Guidelines.

ABSTRACT: In 2019 the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) lowered the target values for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from <1.8 mmol/L to <1.4 mmol/L for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to determine the clinical impact of the 2019 ESC/EAS dyslipidaemia guidelines on lipid-lowering therapies and achievement rates of LDL-C targets in a contemporary cohort of CAD patients participating in an ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program.We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Swiss Secondary Prevention Registry (SwissPR) in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), who completed the ambulatory cardiovascular rehabilitation program (CR) of the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland from Januar
