Characterisation and cholesterol management in patients with cardiovascular events and/or type 2 diabetes in the Netherlands.

CONCLUSION: Despite LMT, >40% of the patients above ESC target also did not reach the less stringent Dutch target, even in the higher risk groups. Therefore, management of hypercholesterolemia after CVE or T2DM should be optimized to improve cardiovascular outcomes. There is substantial room for improving other cardiovascular risk factors.
