Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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 investigate the strategy of frequent monitoring of LDL-C and titration of LLT in achieving LDL-C treatment target at a dedicated specialist clinic.
