What is the recommended LDL-C target for patients with triglyceride levels of $200 mg/dL?
For patients with triglyceride levels $200 mg/dL, non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values should be used as a guide to therapy. Although no studies have directly tested treatment to target strategies, the target LDL-C and non HDL-C levels are derived from several randomized controlled trials where the LDL-C levels achieved for patients showing benefit are used to suggest targets.
