Abstract

Objective: To evaluate longitudinal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) trajectories after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their association with clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively studied 636 consecutive patients discharged after an ACS in a single-centre between 2018 and 2019 who had at least one outpatient LDL-C measurement after discharge. Associations between longitudinal LDL-C trajectories and mortality [cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV] or readmission for ACS were assessed using joint models. Results: < 0.001), the target of
