Abstract

Objectives: While many guidelines recommend treatment to specific LDL-C targets, the 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines recommend specific doses of individual statins according to the patient's cardiovascular risk.

This study aimed to use individual patient data from the VOYAGER meta-analysis to describe the variability in LDL-C reduction following treatment with different statins and doses.
