Evaluation of Lipid Profile Management in Coronary Artery Disease Patients on Statin Therapy: A Single-Centre, Retrospective, Observational Study
The study reveals that a significant number of patients with CAD on statin therapy do not achieve optimal lipid control, particularly in LDL-C management. This underscores the need for more aggressive or tailored lipid-lowering strategies to reduce residual cardiovascular risk in this high-risk population. Further studies are needed to explore the factors contributing to suboptimal lipid control and to develop interventions that can enhance the effectiveness of current therapies.
