Patients who have already suffered a vascular event require more and better control of cardiovascular risk factors. Different atherogenic indexes such as TC/HDLc, LDLc/HDLc, apoB/apoA-I, LDLc/apoB and non-HDLc/HDLc have been used to follow-up the patients because of their predictive capacity of the lipid profile. The aim of this study was to evaluate atherogenic ratios as a marker of the lipid residual risk in high-risk patients receiving statin therapy and to know the changes produced by previous lipid-lowering drugs treatment for a previous coronary event. The study including patients admitted to coronary care units of six Spanish tertiary hospitals for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). A total of 633 ACS patients were included; of these, 478 (75.8%) had presented a myocardial infarction and 153 (24.2%) angina. A previous ACS had occurred in 43.1% of cases, and was the first episode in 56.9% of the studied patients. Among patients with known ischemic heart disease, 187 (52.2%) were receiving lipid-lowering drugs, mainlystatins (182 patients, 50.7%). Of those with a first ACS, 59 (21.7%) were on lipid-lowering drugs: 55 (20.1%) statins and 4 (1.7%) fibrates. Patients with recurrent ACS had similar triglyceride and HDLc levels, but significantly lower total cholesterol and LDLc concentrations compared with those presenting the first ACS. Patients with recurrent ACS had significantly lower non-HDLc levels, TC/HDLc and LDLc/HDLc, but higher HDLc/TC and HDLc/LDLc ratios compared with first ACS patients. In patients taking statins the lipid residual vascular risk was related with the persistence of cardiovascular risk factors, and related with lipid profile with dyslipemia no-LDL dependent. So, we can conclude that the correction of lipid profile by statin is not per se sufficient to control cardiovascular risk
