[Deficits in lipid lowering therapy and achieving target lipid concentrations in patients with high risk of a cardiovascular event].
Lipid concentrations were analysed in 529 consecutive patients, 190 females (34%) and 339 males (66%) with mean age 66 years, at high cardiovascular risk, undergoing elective coronary angiography between 1st January and 31st May 2010. LDL-cholesterol level < 2,5 mmol/l was identified only in 36% of patients in primary prevention, LDL-cholesterol level < 2,0 mmol/l was identified only in 28% of subjects in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. The study proves inadequate control of dyslipidaemia in patients at high cardiovascular risk.
