Abstract

Despite management guidelines advocating statin/ezetimibe use in very high cardiovascular risk (CV) conditions, adherence to this therapy is still suboptimal and LDL-C target attainment unsatisfactory. We aimed to investigate the level of adherence to statin/ezetimibe and LDL-C target achievement rates in an unselected very high CV risk population in primary care setting in Italy.
