JF Dopheide, L Papac, M Schindewolf… - Journal of clinical …, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at very high risk of future
cardiovascular (CV) events. Strict lipid-lowering therapy is recommended. However, data on
target level attainment are scarce. Objective The objective of the study was to investigate
guideline equitable lipid lowering in a large observational study of symptomatic PAD
patients. Methods Single-center observational study including 1109 patients with
symptomatic PAD planned for revascularization at a tertiary university center. Between 2010 …
