Description
Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and therefore it is beneficial to prevent the risk of ASCVD by controlling the prevalence of hyperlipidemia. According to CEPHEUS Pan-Asia survey, the rate of LDL goal attainment in hyperlipidemic patients of Taiwan was suboptimal, especially in high-risk patients. 2017 Taiwan lipid guideline for high-risk patients has been published and clearly defined the treatment goal of blood LDL-C for high-risk patients.
