Background and aims: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) arc at a very high risk of cardiovascular events and strongly benefit from lowering LDL cholesterol (LDL-C); updated European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend an LDL-C target of at least <55 mg/dl for these patients. Whether the presence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) affects LDL-C target achievement in PAD patients is unknown and is addressed in the present study. Methods: We investigated an unselected consecutive series of 319 patients with sonographically proven PAD, of whom 136 (42.6%) had T2DM. Results: The LDL-C target of <55 mg/dl was met by 8.1% of T2DM patients and by 2.2% of non-diabetic patients (p = 0.014); LDL-C was <70 mg/dl in 22.8% of patients with T2DM and in 9.8% of non-diabetic patients (p = 0.002). Logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of T2DM was an independent and strong predictor of LDL-C target achievement after multivariate adjustment including age, gender, potency adjusted statin use, BMI, smoking, hypertension and other lipid-modifying therapy for the <55 mg/dl target (OR 3.58 [1.08-11.90]; p = 0.038) as well as for the <70 mg/dl target (OR 2.78 [1.40-5.35]; p = 0.003). Conclusion: We conclude that T2DM is a strong and independent predictor of LDL-C target achievement among PAD patients; however, also among PAD patients with T2DM only a minority meets the current target of <55 mg/di and most patients do not even have an LDL-C < 70 mg/dl.
