Lowering LDL Cholesterol Remains the Cornerstone for Reducing Residual Cardiovascular Risk

pp. 305-306

Abstract

In general, residual risk means the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events that remains even after receiving treatment or taking measures to reduce that risk. In this issue of the Argentine Journal of Cardiology, Masson et al. publish a very interesting study about “The impact of optimizing lipid-lowering therapy on residual cardiovascular disease risk” using the SMART-REACH model that predicts the risk of recurrent CV events. The study highlights the urgent necessity to control LDL-C effectively with the tools available in clinical practice.
