Among the modifiable risk factors, hypercholesterolemia, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), plays a pivotal role in ASCVD development. Novel therapies such as PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9) inhibitors are emerging to address this concern. These inhibitors offer the potential to reduce ASCVD risk by directly targeting LDL-C levels.Areas covered: The article reviews the structural and functional aspects of PCSK9, highlighting its role in LDL receptor regulation. The pharmacological strategies for PCSK9 inhibition, including monoclonal antibodies, binding peptides, gene silencing, and active immunization, are explored. Clinical evidence from various trials underscores the safety and efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors in reducing LDL-C levels and potentially improving cardiovascular outcomes. Despite these promising results, challenges such as cost-effectiveness and long-term safety considerations are addressed.Expert opinion: Among PCSK9 inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies represent a cornerstone. Many trials have showed their efficacy in reducing LDL-C and the risk for major adverse clinical events, revealing long-lasting effects, with special benefits particularly for statin-intolerant and familial hypercholesterolemia patients. However, long-term impacts, high costs, and patient selection necessitate further research.","PeriodicalId":12098,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"41-58"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138298813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A probabilistic sensitivity analysis was performed by sampling each model's probabilistic results.Results: Empagliflozin + SoC compared to SoC resulted in increased life-years (LYs) (6.48 vs. 6.35), quality-adjusted LYs (QALYs) (4.80 vs. 4.63), and healthcare costs (€19,090 vs. €18,246), over a lifetime time horizon for the combined HF population in Spain.

We investigated the association between OA and receipt of invasive managements and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample, adjusted binary logistic regression determined the association between OA and each outcome variable.Results: Of 6,561,940 AMI hospitalizations, 6.3% had OA. OA patients were older and more likely to be female. OA was associated with a decreased odds of coronary angiography (adjusted odds ratio 0.91; 95% confidence interval 0.90, 0.92), PCI (0.87; 0.87, 0.88), and coronary artery bypass grafting (0.98; 0.97, 1.00).

The postulated biologic mechanisms underlying the relationships, areas of prevailing uncertainty, and potential public health implications are also discussed.Expert opinion: A physical activity level of 500 MET-min/week (equivalent to 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 min of vigorous-intensity physical activity or an equivalent combination) may be a minimum requirement for patients with preexisting CVD.

Recent trials have demonstrated the efficacy of anti-hypertensive therapy in older populations but failed to show benefits for aspirin.Area covered: Statins clearly reduce CVD events in middle-aged populations. There seems to be evidence that the effect is similar in primary prevention older populations based on meta-analyses mainly from sub-groups in large trials, but this becomes less clear with increasing age. However, given differences in drug metabolism and possibly efficacy, competing co-morbidities, their effects on mortality, disability, and dementia in this age group remain to be determined.Expert opinion: Two large trials are now underway to clarify the role of statin therapy in people aged over 70 years using endpoints of mortality, disability, and neurocognitive endpoints as well as standard cardiovascular disease outcomes.

We describe the utilization and benefits of continuous hemodynamics during transcatheter interventions and review the prognostic information that can be gleaned from changes in hemodynamics after intervention.Expert opinion: The advancement of transcatheter therapies for structural heart disease has sparked a renewed interest in the utilization of invasive hemodynamics.
