Methods and Results Data were assessed from the European Study on Cardiovascular Risk Prevention and Management in Usual Daily Practice (EURIKA, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00882336), which included a randomly sampled population of primary CVD prevention patients from 12 European countries (n = 7641). Patients' 10-year risk of CVD-related mortality was calculated using the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) algorithm, identifying 5019 patients at high cardiovascular risk (SCORE >= 5\% and/or receiving lipid-lowering therapy), and 2970 patients at very high cardiovascular risk (SCORE >= 10\% or with diabetes mellitus). Among high-risk individuals, 65.3\% were receiving lipid-lowering therapy, and 61.3\% of treated patients had uncontrolled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (>= 2.5 mmol/L). For very-high-risk patients (uncontrolled LDL-C levels defined as >= 1.8 mmol/L) these figures were 49.5\% and 82.9\%, respectively. Excess 10-year risk of CVD-related mortality (according to SCORE) attributable to lack of control of dyslipidaemia was estimated to be 0.72\% and 1.61\% among high-risk and very-high-risk patients, respectively. Among high-risk individuals with uncontrolled LDL-C levels, only 8.7\% were receiving a high-intensity statin (atorvastatin >= 40 mg/day or rosuvastatin >= 20 mg/day). Among very-high-risk patients, this figure was 8.4\%. Conclusions There is a considerable opportunity for improvement in rates of lipid-lowering therapy use and achievement of lipid-level targets in high-risk and very-high-risk patients being treated for primary CVD prevention in Europe. eng RANDOMIZED-TRIALS ADULT-POPULATION PREVALENCE MANAGEMENT METAANALYSIS PREVENTION PROJECT STATINS EURIKA SPAIN Low Rates of Both Lipid-Lowering Therapy Use and Achievement of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Targets in Individuals at High-Risk for Cardiovascular Disease across Europe journal article URL https://repisalud.isciii.es/bitstreams/f66f2b66-c843-464f-9942-4e46d8f1fa8b/download File MD5 03913ed9de26b1fe836d8247ba4f65bf 658840 application/pdf LowRatesofBothLipid-L_5516owering URL https://repisalud.isciii.es/bitstreams/42e1d59e-9711-49d6-8bec-0b8eb34f670c/download File MD5 a2e9af39ef1a6a8655aacfe5fe0c4b84 40297 text/plain LowRatesofBothLipid-L_5516owering.txt
