Popis: Background— Cardiovascular events occur among statin-treated patients, albeit at lower rates. Risk factors for this “residual risk” have not been studied comprehensively. We aimed to identify determinants of this risk above and beyond lipid-related risk factors. Methods and Results— A total of 9251 coronary patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 2 ), male sex (aHR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.07–1.65), hypertension (aHR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.17–1.63), diabetes mellitus (aHR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11–1.60), baseline apolipoprotein B (aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.11–1.28 per 19 mg/dL), and blood urea nitrogen (aHR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03–1.17 per 4.9 mg/dL), in addition to current smoking, prior cardiovascular disease, and calcium channel blocker use. Determinants of decreased risk were high-dose statin (aHR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.70–0.94), aspirin use (aHR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.56–0.81), and baseline apolipoprotein A-I (aHR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84–0.99 per 25 mg/dL). On-treatment 1-year lipids or apolipoproteins were not additionally associated with risk in multivariable models. Known baseline variables performed moderately well in discriminating future cases from noncases (Harrell c index=0.679). Conclusions— Determinants of residual risk in statin-treated secondary prevention patients included lipid-related and nonlipid factors such as baseline apolipoproteins, increased body mass index, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. A multifaceted prevention approach should be underscored to address this risk. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT00327691.
