What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hyperlipidaemia especially elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is known to be the main contributor to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Lowering LDL-C have been shown to reduce the risk of ASCVD2,3. Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) advocated aggressive LDL-C target with statin being the first-line lipid-lowering therapy (LLT). However, a significant portion of patients did not attain their LDL-C goal in our locality. Statin no adherence, low uptake of adjuvant non-statin LLT, and therapeutic inertia are few potential causes for not achieving the LDL-C target. ESC recommends repeating blood test in 6-8 weeks after addition or alternation of LLT, but this recommendation was not routinely followed in current local practice due to resources constrain. This registry therefore aims to
