Abstract

Among 1,211 patients hospitalized with documented CAD at either a university hospital or large suburban community hospital, 36% failed to receive appropriate evaluation and treatment for dyslipidemia. Younger patients, those admitted to a university hospital, and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were substantially more likely to receive appropriate lipid management than other subgroups.
