Overview

No recommendations are made for or against specific LDL-C or non-HDL-C goals for the primary prevention or secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), given the lack of evidence on the titration of cholesterol-lowering therapy to specific goals.

2013 ACC AHA guideline on the treatment of blood cholesterol LDL and non-HDL treatment goals

There are few trials that were designed to define the optimal goals for LDL-C or non-HDL-C by titrating cholesterol-lowering therapy. In AIM-HIGH, the additional reduction in non-HDL–C levels with niacin therapy did not further reduce ASCVD risk in individuals treated to LDL–C levels of 40 to 80 mg/dL.[2] Therefore, no recommendations are made for or against specific LDL–C or non-HDL–C goals for the primary or secondary prevention of ASCVD due to the lack of evidence on titration of drug therapy to specific goals.
