Conclusions LDL-C can now be reduced to unprecedented low levels with statin + PCSK9i (<< 1 mM ) A strong progressive relationship of achieved LDL-C and CV events seen, down to LDL <0.26 mM (<10 mg/ dL ) No excess in safety events with very low achieved LDL-C <0.5 mM (<20 mg/ dL ) at 2.2 years Giugliano RP, ESC Congress 2017, Barcelona 8/28/2017 These data suggest that we should target considerably lower LDL-C than is currently recommended for our patients with atherosclerotic CV disease

Subtract 1 risk factor if the person has high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol . b Framingham risk scoring is applied to determine 10-year risk. c Coronary artery disease risk equivalents include diabetes and clinical manifestations of noncoronary forms of atherosclerotic disease (peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and carotid artery disease). AACE = American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists; Apo B = Apolipoprotein B; ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CAD = coronary artery disease; CHD = coronary heart disease; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DM = diabetes mellitus; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HeFH = heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NR = not recommended.
