Description
Kazuhisa Tsukamoto and co-authors measured in 2026 how often Japanese patients miss stricter LDL targets set in 2022. They used a nationwide real-world data set of 200,607 adults with dyslipidaemia. LDL cholesterol is a key target for warding off atherosclerotic heart and vessel disease, most of all in high-risk people.
Patients were grouped by Japan Atherosclerosis Society rules into high-risk primary prevention groups, plus familial hypercholesterolaemia, and a secondary prevention group with prior coronary disease or stroke. Miss rates were tallied across risk strata. The large-scale picture shows where drug intensification lags most. It helps clinicians and policy makers close gaps between guideline targets and daily practice.
