Cardiovascular risk burden and guideline-recommended lipid and blood pressure goals in an Italian Cohort: findings from the HUMTELEMED web-based platform
In this large real-world Italian cohort, the proportion of patients meeting LDL-C and BP goals was critically low, particularly among those at the highest CVR, despite pharmacological treatment. These findings highlight the urgent need for improved implementation of guideline-based prevention strategies, including greater use of combination therapies, better risk communication, and stronger adherence to ESC recommendations.
