ABSTRACT
Dyslipidemia is a major contributor in initiation, development and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Most lipid guidelines are from Europe and America and centered on the reduction of atherogenic lipids levels through lifestyle intervention and pharmacotherapy. Recently, the 2017 Taiwan lipid guidelines for high risk patients was published to facilitate the control of dyslipidemia in patients that are highly susceptible to ASCVD, including patients with preexisting ASCVD, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and familial hypercholesterolemia. Most recommendations outlined in the 2017 Taiwan lipid guidelines for high risk patients are in concordance with those of Western guidelines. However, based on evidence from the studies originating from Asia and local expert opinions, there are some recommendations different from the other guidelines. The purpose of the current review is to compare the similarities and differences between the perspectives of the 2017 Taiwan lipid guidelines for high risk patients and other Western guidelines in individuals at high risk of ASCVD. The definitions of high risk groups and treatment goals defined to achieve ASCVD risk reduction are specifically compared.
