Background: LDL-C reduction is the primary objective in the secondary prevention of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objectives: Record baseline LDL-C and after three months of statin therapy, the percentage of patients who meet goal values, lipid parameters that contribute to residual risk, and adverse effects. Methods: Patients with ACS were recruited and laboratory tests were performed at baseline and after three months of r. Laboratory tests were taken at baseline and after three months. The analysis was descriptive using frequencies for qualitative variables and means for quantitative variables. Results: Out of the 21 recruited patients, 16 (76,19%) completed follow-up. The most common comorbidities were obesity, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The initial LDL-C mean value was 106,1mg/dl, which decreased to 53,1mg/dl. The median baseline and final HDL-C levels were 38mg/dl and 33mg/dl, respectively. The median baseline and final triglyceride levels were 179mg/dl and 108mg/dl (p<0,05). After three months, 81% (p<0,01) of patients met LDL-C goals and 56% achieved a >50% reduction. No adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: The majority achieved the LDL-C goal.
