Abstract

Background and Aims: Low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-c] is a major modifiable cardiovascular disease [CVD] risk factor. A 1% reduction in LDL-c lowers CVD mortality by 2-4%. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor (PCSK9I) therapy achieves 50-60% reduction of LDL-c and is indicated in patients with high CVD risk when statins are not tolerated or ineffective.
