What this Trial Is About
The pharmacological reduction of LDL-C lowers cardiovascular risk and is therefore a priority in cardiovascular secondary prevention. The achievement of LDL-C target levels in Germany, Europe, and worldwide is inadequate, despite a wide array of lipid-lowering medications. Only a small proportion of post-myocardial infarction patients reach their LDL-C target range within a year. There is a significant need for new strategies to improve LDL-C target achievement and thereby reduce the occurrence of secondary cardiovascular events. The aim of the study is to establish a basis for improving prevention by achieving the target LDL level effectively and quickly in patients with high and very high cardiovascular risk profiles.
