Goals of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol need to be adjusted in Chinese acute coronary syndrome patients: Findings from the CCC-ACS project.

•Remarkable discordances are between non-HDL-C and LDL-C in Chinese ACS patients.•Mean differences between non-HDL-C and LDL-C is <30 mg/dl in Chinese ACS patients.•The mean differences are affected by baseline LDL-C and TG levels.•It is reasonable to use non-HDL-C goal in the secondary prevention for ASCVD.•Different adding values should be based on TG levels after LDL-C ≤70 mg/dl.
