Myocardial dysfunction caused by sepsis, usually termed 'sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy' (SICM), is common and has long been a subject of interest for intensivists and cardiologists. Despite the lack of a consensus definition, SICM is widely recognized as a reversible condition characterized by acute single or bi-ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction unrelated to coronary artery disease. While indications for monitoring and treating septic cardiomyopathy are directed towards restoring tissue perfusion, a better understanding of the course and implications of septic cardiomyopathy may help to optimize interventions and improve clinical outcomes. The present review aims to summarize current knowledge on the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation of SICM, and to provide insights to aid clinicians in managing affected patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":" ","pages":"3339-3353"},"PeriodicalIF":35.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the primary target for lipid-lowering therapies, recent evidence highlights the importance of triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (apoB), and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] for residual cardiovascular risk. Current lipid-lowering therapies target key enzymes and proteins involved in cholesterol and lipid metabolism. Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol biosynthesis and increasing LDL receptor (LDLR) expression in the liver. Bempedoic acid inhibits ATP citrate lyase, the enzyme upstream of HMG-CoA reductase in the mevalonate pathway, offering an alternative to statins by selectively acting in the liver, minimizing muscle-related side effects. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors [evolocumab, alirocumab, inclisiran, lerodalcibep, and enlicitide decanoate (MK0616)] prevent LDLR degradation, while ezetimibe limits intestinal cholesterol absorption. Emerging lipid-lowering targets include angiopoietin-like 3 protein (ANGPTL3) and apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III). Inhibiting ANGPTL3 reduces both triglycerides and LDL-C independently of LDL receptor. Inhibition of apoC-III unleashes lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, promoting triglyceride-rich particle catabolism, even in complete LPL deficiency. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition also increases the catabolism of apoB-containing lipoproteins. Ongoing research into strategies to reduce Lp(a), primarily but not exclusively through antisense therapies, aims to demonstrate the cardiovascular benefits of targeting this lipoprotein. In summary, the field of targets for lipid and lipoprotein lowering is constantly evolving and offers new strategies for patients resistant to current therapies or with specific lipid profile abnormalities.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
