AB Despite high levels of compliance with antiplatelet and statin medications, the proportion of middle aged, East Asian patients who meet guideline recommended cardiovascular disease (CVD) management targets prior to catheterization is suboptimal. This article reports the results of a prospective study designed to determine whether patients referred for a coronary angiogram or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a single center in the West Indies were meeting guideline recommended CVD management targets.
