Frequency and predictors of cholesterol target attainment in patients with stable coronary heart disease in Belgium: results from the Dyslipidemia International Study II (DYSIS II CHD)

OBJECTIVES: To document the frequency and predictors of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target value attainment among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Belgium. METHODS: The second Dyslipidemia International Study (DYSIS II) was an observational study of the prevalence of dyslipidemias and lipid target value attainment. Patients in this analysis were aged ≥ 18, had documented CHD, and had a full lipid profile. Use of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT), lipid profile, and LDL-C target value attainment (< 70 mg/dL) were assessed cross-sectionally at the enrollment visit. T... Mehr ...
