I make sure their lipids are tested and ldl at goal. Many cardiologists expect the pcp to manage ongoing risk factors. Now that psk9 inhibitors are better covered I do add on this therapy to maximum statin and ezetimide if not at goal.

Start high intensity statin at the hospital then aggressively titrate it to bring LDLC to less than 55, or add additional medications if not at goal or cannot tolerate a high dose statin
