Abstract

Introduction: While prior studies have documented suboptimal lipid management and low rates of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the degree of variability in lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) practice patterns between clinicians is less well described. Methods: In this cohort study, we evaluated the use of LLTs and achievement of LDL-C
