Multicenter Study
Prospective evaluation of lipid management following acute coronary syndrome in Saudi Arabia.
To evaluate LDL-C control in patients within 6 months after hospitalization for ACS in Saudi Arabia. ⋯ Levels and decrease of LDL-C from baseline achieved in this study are suboptimal, according to updated 2019 ESC/EAS guidelines. While statins were prescribed to all patients post-ACS, the recommended add-on treatments were largely overlooked. Gaps in dyslipidemia management linger, despite clear updated guidelines.
