Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studies demonstrate that Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol targets are largely unreached in real-life, particularly in the higher cardiovascular (CV) risk classes. Our aim was to evaluate LDL target achievement in very high and extreme CV risk patients at the end of a Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 940 patients with recent acute or chronic coronary syndrome participating in a CR program were enrolled between January 2012 and December 2023. LDL targets were
