AbstractThe primary and not yet accomplished goal remains to treat all patients with coronary heart disease to the LDL cholesterol target < 100 mg/dl. To date there is no conclusive evidence for a recommendation of a LDL cholesterol goal lower than 100 mg/dl for all patients. Patients with high vascular risk benefit from statin therapy irrespective of cholesterol levels, underlining the importance of the assessment of global vascular risk as the basis of modern lipid therapy.
