Summary
Although there have been studies regarding intensive lowering of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol with high intensity statins in patients with cardiovascular disease, elderly patients were either excluded or accounted only a small portion of study subjects. Therefore, this study sought to compare the clinical outcomes according to the LDL-cholesterol therapy targeting (intensive targeting [LDL-cholesterol <55mg/dL] vs. conventional therapy [moderate intensity statin therapy]) in elderly patients with ≥75 years and documented cardiovascular disease.
