Abstract
Angiopoietin-related protein 3 (ANGPTL3)-lowering therapies are an LDL receptor-independent strategy for patients who remain at high cardiovascular risk despite conventional treatment, including those with familial hypercholesterolaemia. By reducing both LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein levels in plasma, ANGPTL3 inhibition addresses a broader atherogenic burden and might offer advantages over apolipoprotein C3 inhibition, with the potential to reshape the management of refractory dyslipidaemias.
