Previous studies have found that many high-risk patients are not achieving their LDL-cholesterol goals, and many patients, despite being treated with lipid-lowering therapy, also have elevated triglycerides and/or low levels of HDL-cholesterol. Aims: Authors analyzed the treatment strategies for dyslipidemic subjects following cardiovascular events similarly to their former survey from 2008 and 2009. Methods: In the MULTI GAP (MULTI Goal Attainment Problem) 2010 trial data from standard and structured questionnaires of 2332 patients were processed. Authors analyzed the proportion of the patients reaching target levels for total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, A-C (atherogen cholesterol) and triglyceride. Results: 15% (n = 355) of the patients did not receive any lipid lowering treatment. 44% of the patients treated by specialists reached the target LDL-C level of 2.5 mmol/l. In „high risk” group target levels for HDL-C were reached by 61% of the patients, and for triglyceride by 43% of the subjects. 43% of the patients with the best compliance (>90%) reached the target LDL-C level of 2.5 mmol/l. Conclusion: There is a need for more effective lipid lowering therapy with more frequent use of higher doses of statins or combinations of lipid lowering drugs. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 822–827.

This article is devoted to the problems of residual risk of cardiovascu1ar comp1ications deve1opment for high and very high risk patients under adequate lipid-fowering pharmacotherapy in spite of c^lestera! and tow-density 1ipoproteins target level achievement. Afong with classic risk factors the special atte^ton is given to 1ipoprotein (a) [LP (a)] as the most aggressive factor of cardwvascular system atherosclerotic diseases devetopment and their comp1ications. Great importance is attached to 1ipidopheresis.

Background HIV patients are at increased cardiovascular risk while available European cardiovascular recommendations are ambiguous. Methods Retrospective analysis of 389 HIV-patients was conducted. Cardiovascular risk was determined by D:A:D, Framingham and SCORE scales. Patients were divided into risk groups as recommended by EACS 2019, PTN AIDS 2019 and ESC/EAS 2019 Guidelines and hypolipemic treatment was evaluated. Results In total, 389 HIV-positive patients took part in the study, most of whom were men (n = 312, 80.4%), mean age 41.69±10years. Mean lipid levels among all HIV patients: Tch:177.2±36mg/dl, HDL:48.9±18mg/dl, LDL:103.8±31mg/dl, TG:143.3±81mg/dl, AIP:0.45±0.3, non-HDL:129.2±36 mg/dl. Most of the participants (n = 360, 92.5%) were assigned to the high cardiovascular risk group according to ESC/EAS and PTN AIDS guidelines. The achievement of therapeutic LDLs according to ESC/EAS was 10.3% for those at very high cardiovascular risk (8.7% on lipid lowering treatment vs. 16.7% without hypolipemic drugs) and 12.0% (5.8% treated vs. 13.6% untreated) at high cardiovascular risk; according to PTN AIDS,17.2% achievement was noted by the very high-risk group (13% treated vs. 33.3% untreated), and 45.9% for the high-risk group (37.7% treated vs. 48.0% untreated); according to EACS Guidelines, 2.5% achievement in secondary prevention (3.8% treatedvs. 0% untreated) and 24.7% in primary prevention (22.2% treated vs. 26.1% untreated). Mean doses of statins were 8.75mg±6mg (Rosuvastatin) and 22.35±19mg (Atorvastatin). Conclusions The achievement of therapeutic LDLs by all recommendations is unsatisfactory, and generally worse in patients on lipid lowering therapy. Hypolipemic treatment of our HIV patients is based on low doses of statins, even in secondary prevention.
