Detailed Description
Patients admitted to the Jena University Hospital (UKS) with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will be closely monitored to achieve ESC/EAS-guideline recommended LDL-cholesterol goals. Lipid profiles of each patient will be evaluated on the day of admission, on discharge and during follow-ups at 4-8 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after the index event. If the ESC/EAS-guideline LDL-C target is not attained with a statin and ezetimibe, then escalation of lipid-lowering therapy accordling to the current ESC/EAS dyslipidemia guidelines with either bempedoic acid, PCSK9mabs or inclisiran is indicated.
Lipid profils, in particular LDL-c goal attainment and lipid-lowering treatment will be documented in patients cards.The aim is to get all patients on ESC/EAS LDL-C targets.
