Impact of body mass index on repeat coronary revascularization rates in patients with LDL-C below 55 mg/dL and LDL-C below 70 mg/dL: a 42-month cohort study in Korea.

In Korean PCI patients with normal body weight whose LDL-C level is less than 70 mg/dL, but more than 55 mg/dL, should be treated with more intensive therapy to lower LDL-C to less than 55 mg/dL. For obese patients who have succeeded in reducing LDL-C below 55 mg/dL, it seems that weight loss should be attempted to a normal body weight level.
