Background The aim of the China Cholesterol Education Program is to investigate the blood lipid levels, the statin intervention and the rates of achieving the goal of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level in Chinese outpatients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods and Results The multicenter study recruited 4,778 outpatients with CHD. The mean level of LDL-C for the total outpatients was 2.93±1.00 mmol/L; 82.2% of the participants received statin therapy. The LDL-C levels were 3.06±1.08 mmol/L and 2.89±0.97 mmol/L in outpatients with high risk and very high risk, respectively (p<0.001). No significant difference was found about the rates of statin intervention in outpatients at high risk and very high risk (81.4% vs 82.5%, p>0.05). Though they had higher rates of statin intervention, only 36.2% of the high-risk outpatients achieved the target LDL-C level (<2.6 mmol/L); 10.9% of the very high risk outpatients achieved the optimal LDL-C level (<1.82 mmol/L) suggested by NCEP ATP III. The rate of achieving the target level was only 42.2%, even though LDL-C <2.6mmol/L was the goal for patients at very high risk. Conclusions Although the outpatients received a higher rate of statin therapy, the rates of achieving the target cholesterol level were lower. There is a significant gap between the guidelines and clinical practice in China. (Circ J 2008; 72: 2040 - 2045)<br>
