Prevalence and predictive role of hypertriglyceridemia in statin-treated patients at very high risk: insights from the START Study

Elevated triglyceride (TG) levels seem to identify subjects at increased cardiovascular risk, independent of LDL-C levels. We sought to evaluate the predictive role of hypertriglyceridemia, defined as TG levels ≥150 mg/dl, in very high risk (VHR) patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) treated with statins.
