Abstract

Current evidence indicates the potential for very low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in dyslipidaemia management.

  • More-intensive LDL-C lowering may lead to different clinical outcomes compared to less-intensive approaches.

  • Current treatments could significantly affect the management of dyslipidaemia.
