Previous studies focused on attaining low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals after lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), but data on achieving normal levels of triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are limited. We reviewed medical records of patients initiated on LMT. High risk was defined as patients with coronary heart disease, diabetes, or 10-year Framing-ham risk>20%. Among 806 patients enrolled, 429 were at high risk. Prior to initiation of LMT, 66%, 35%, and 44 % overall and 69%, 35%, and 45 % in the high-risk group had elevated LDL-C, elevated triglyceride, and low HDL-C, respectively. After 12 months of LMT, 21%, 32%, and 39 % overall and 26%, 25%, and 43 % in the high-risk group still had elevated LDL...
