Aggressive vs moderate approach to lipid lowering
- In this substudy of the Post-CABG trial the influence of risk factors on benefit from LDL-C reduction was investigated.50
- Risk factors included in this analysis were smoking, diabetes, hypertension, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL, triglycerides < 145 mg/dL and number of risk factors.
- As shown in the slide, aggressive lowering of LDL-C resulted in superior reduction in progression of atherosclerosis regardless of the number of risk factors.
