Background and aims: Dyslipidaemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the Mexican population. This analysis aimed to describe the baseline LDL-c levels of patients presenting to cardiovascular clinics and evaluate the proportion who achieved their risk-based LDL-c goals as recommended by 2021 ESC prevention guidelines. Methods: The REMECAR registry is an observational study of patients attending a specialized cardiovascular clinic for their first visit. The cardiovascular risk was retrospectively determined using the 2021 ESC guideline stratification and the SCORE2 and SCORE-OP. Results: A total of 5443 patients were included in the analysis. Within this population, 55.96% presented as very high, 39.98% as high and 4.06% as moderate to low risk. 63% of the participants were not on any lipid-lowering treatment at entry, while 12.4% were receiving high-intensity statin therapy. Patients presenting with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease had a mean LDL-c of 90.9 ± 40.7 mg/dL. Of these, 14.1% were achieving LDL-c levels of 70–55 mg/dL and 19.3% were achieving LDL-c levels
