Abstract
Lipids and lipoproteins are the target of many novel therapeutics and are an area with great potential for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol has been the mainstay of reducing the burden of CVD, however, several other atherogenic particles have more recently come into the spotlight as potential avenues for primary and/or secondary prevention of CVD. These include triglycerides, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein A, apolipoprotein C3 and lipoprotein(a). In this review, we showcase novel therapeutics to target lipid and cardiovascular risk reduction that are either in development or that have recently been approved for use. We discuss the mechanisms of action, data from clinical trials and expected effects of each therapy based on the current body of literature.
