Table 4. Target LDL-C and non-HDL-C goals according to risk category.

Risk		LDL-C, mg/dL	Non-HDL-C, mg/dL
Very high-risk group		<70	<100
	Coronary artery disease
	Atherosclerotic ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack
	Peripheral artery disease
High-risk group		<100	<130
	Carotid artery disease*
	Abdominal aneurysm
	Diabetes†
Moderate-risk group		<130	<160
	Two or more major risk factors‡
Low-risk group		<160	<190
	One or fewer major risk factors‡

LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

^*In case of significant stenosis of the carotid artery.

^†The target may be lowered depending on the patient if patient has target organ damage or major cardiovascular disease risk factor.

^†Age (male ≥45 years, female ≥55 years), family history of premature coronary artery disease, hypertension, smoking, hypo-HDL-C.
