The Pan-Asian CEPHEUS study aimed to assess low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal attainment among patients on lipid-lowering therapy. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods: This survey was conducted in eight Asian countries. Hypercholesterolaemic patients aged \u226518 years who had been on lipid-lowering treatment for \u22653 months (stable medication for \u22656 weeks) were recruited, and lipid concentrations were measured. Demographic and other clinically relevant information were collected, and the cardiovascular risk of each patient was determined. Definitions and criteria set by the updated 2004 National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines were applied. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: In this survey, 501 physicians enrolled 8064 patients, of whom 7281 were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 61.0 years, 44.4% were female, and 85.1% were on statin monotherapy. LDL-C goal attainment was reported in 49.1% of patients overall, including 51.2% of primary and 48.7% of secondary prevention patients, and 36.6% of patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia. The LDL-C goal was attained in 75.4% of moderate risk, 55.4% of high risk, and only 34.9% of very high-risk patients. Goal attainment was directly related to age and inversely related to cardiovascular risk and baseline LDL-C. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: A large proportion of Asian hypercholesterolaemic patients on lipid-lowering drugs are not at recommended LDL-C levels and remain at risk for cardiovascular disease. Given the proven efficacy of lipid-lowering drugs in the reduction of LDL-C, there is room for further optimization of treatments to maximize benefits and improve outcomes. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1741826710397100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,8]],"date-time":"2011-03-08T00:49:34Z","timestamp":1299545374000},"page":"781-794","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Lipid-lowering treatment in hypercholesterolaemic patients: the CEPHEUS Pan-Asian survey"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jeong Euy","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology, Cardiac and Vascular Center, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chern-En","family":"Chiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Clinical Research Center and Division of Cardiology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Munawar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gia Khai","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vietnam National Heart Association, Hanoi, Vietnam."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Apichard","family":"Sukonthasarn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Maharaj Nakorn Chiangmai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anastacio R","family":"Aquino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Louise University-Hospital of Sacred Heart, Baguio City, Philippines."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kah Lin","family":"Khoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pantai Medical Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hon Wah Raymond","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199811053391902"},{"key":"bibr2-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.282.24.2340"},{"key":"bibr3-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.326.7404.1423"},{"key":"bibr4-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2003.10.039"},{"key":"bibr5-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circ.106.25.3143"},{"key":"bibr6-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2005.06.006"},{"key":"bibr7-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000133317.49796.0E"},{"key":"bibr8-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.hjr.0000277984.31558.c4"},{"key":"bibr9-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.100.18.1930"},{"key":"bibr10-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2009.05.062"},{"key":"bibr11-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3310\/hta11140"},{"key":"bibr12-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00129784-200707020-00005"},{"key":"bibr13-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2007.06.033"},{"key":"bibr14-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5414\/CPP41567"},{"key":"bibr15-1741826710397100","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1569","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.eurheartj.a015136","volume":"18","author":"EUROSPIRE: A European Society of Cardiology survey of secondary prevention of coronary heart disease: principal results.
