Distribution of subjects according to physician-based cardiovascular (CVD) risk assessment and LDL-c suggested targets vs. those recommended by guidelines ( A), and relationship of physician-based misclassified CVD risk and achievement of LDL-c targets (B) or current lipid-lowering treatments (LLT) (C). A: green boxes show the number of subjects with physician-suggested LDL-c targets being equal or lower to those recommended by guidelines; Red boxes show the number of subjects with physician-suggested targets being higher than guidelines-recommended target. Patients with missing information on Physician-suggested targets (n = 105) were not included in the analysis. Notes on B and C: association between misclassified risk and achievement of LDL-c targets (B) or high-/very-high intensity lipid-lowering treatment (LLT) expressed as odds ratios, with OR < 1 suggestive of lower probability of subjects with physician-based misperceived CVD risk of achieving LDL-c targets or of being treated high/very-high- intensity LLT
