From late 20<sup>th</sup> century paradigms to current state-of-the-art strategies, the field has consolidated statins as foundational therapy while establishing the clinical benefit of non-statin agents and introducing biological therapies into cardiovascular disease prevention. These developments support the paradigm that lowering LDL-cholesterol levels earlier and sustaining this over time translates to greater reductions in cardiovascular risk. More recently, RNA-targeted and DNA-targeted approaches have enabled the modulation of proteins, such as PCSK9, lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein C-III, and ANGPTL3. The traditional concept of HDL-cholesterol being considered a good cholesterol has been challenged, whereas the causal relevance of lipoprotein(a) has gained recognition. New metrics-including non-HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, triglyceride-rich remnants, or remnant cholesterol-are increasingly integrated into residual risk assessment. A growing sex-specific perspective has refined cardiovascular research and care. Despite robust evidence, the proportion of patients meeting their recommended targets remains unacceptably low. Implementation science seeks to address this persistent evidence-practice gap. In parallel, artificial intelligence is reshaping scientific methodologies and is poised to transform the understanding and management of lipid-related cardiometabolic disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"693-702"},"PeriodicalIF":36.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148206567","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}

Biopsies of head and neck paragangliomas were excluded. Participating centres completed standardised data-collection forms. The primary outcome was biopsy-related mortality rate for all patients who had biopsies performed at participating centres, given that biopsies done elsewhere that had fatal outcomes would be unlikely to be referred.

No serious catecholamine-related complications occurred in patients without catecholamine excess (n=59), receiving fine-needle aspiration (n=46), or after biopsy of metastatic lesions (n=114).
