Management of triglycerides, non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37979723/

Dyslipidaemia characterised by elevated total cholesterol/LDL-C, triglyceride or both or decreased HDL-C is an important risk factor for the development of ASCVD. Atherogenic dyslipidaemia characterised by high TG, low HDL-C...

Dyslipidaemia increases ASCVD risk, particularly in Asian Indians. Management includes lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy for severe cases. Non-HDL-C is a better ASCVD risk marker than HDL-C, which lacks proven causality.

Role of PCSK9 inhibitors in the management of dyslipidaemia - PubMed

Role of PCSK9 inhibitors in the management of dyslipidaemia - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38195006/

Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are novel agents that lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardio-vascular event rate. Being expensive, these agents are reserved for those with high risk or...

PCSK9 inhibitors lower LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular event rates, reserved for high-risk patients with inadequate responses to statins and ezetimibe or those intolerant to statins due to high cost.

Evolution of More Aggressive LDL-Cholesterol Targets and Therapies for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention - PubMed

Evolution of More Aggressive LDL-Cholesterol Targets and Therapies for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38068483/

Over the last half-century, discussions on the exact targets for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction have evolved towards a more aggressive approach with lower LDL-C targets, particularly for high-risk patients...

This paper reviews the evolution of LDL-C targets in lipid management, highlighting the efficacy of statins and newer therapies in reducing ASCVD risk and advocating for lower LDL-C goals.

Bempedoic Acid: Lipid Lowering for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention - PubMed

Bempedoic Acid: Lipid Lowering for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38419721/

The management of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is a central strategy for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Current United States (2018 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Multisociety) and...

Bempedoic acid effectively lowers LDL-C and reduces major cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with statin intolerance, showing significant benefits while having fewer myalgia and diabetes events compared to placebo.
