dc.description.abstract | According to the 2019 European statistics, 4.1 million deaths in Europe are caused by cardiovascular disease, with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) being a leading cause of mortality. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the management of dyslipidemias recommended a target low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal of ≤1.4mmol/L or ≥50 %relative reduction. Patients with documented cardiovascular disease and elevated individual risk factors are candidates for early intervention with higher intensity statins alongside lifestyle modifications. | en_GB |
