Target achievement with maximal statin ‐based lipid‐lowering therapy in Korean patients with familial hypercholesterolemia: A study supported by the Korean Society of Lipid and Atherosclerosis

ConclusionsThe target achievement of LDL‐C < 100 mg/dL was low, and 50% LDL‐C reduction was moderately achieved in Korean patients with FH receiving maximal statin‐based LLT. Pretreatment LDL‐C levels and diabetes mellitus were associated with target achievement. Our results provide rare and informative data on FH treatment in Asian patients.
