LIpid Response to Statins ± Ezetimibe In Mumbai (LIRIM): A Cross-sectional Observational Study

In the first report of its kind in India, this study showed that suboptimal LDL-C goal achievement occurred in around 20% of high-risk ASCVD patients on dual therapy. This indicates that clinicians should consider the addition of other therapies [e.g., bempedoic acid, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, and inclisiran] to mitigate the residual risk. Several more trials are needed to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for this population.
