Highlight

  • PCSK9 inhibitor monoclonal antibodies (PCSK9i mAb) markedly lower rates of ischaemic cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) without prior ischaemic events.
  • Five-year outcome analyses reveal a 30.9% relative risk reduction (RRR) and 7.8% absolute risk reduction (ARR) in the primary composite endpoint with PCSK9i treatment.
  • Initiation of PCSK9i mAb resulted in substantial LDL-C reductions (mean absolute reduction 63.1 mg/dL, 53.6% decrease from baseline), demonstrating potent lipid-lowering in a real-world setting.
