Summary: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a common chronic condition worldwide, often accompanied by other chronic diseases. The treatment of patients with ASCVD and multimorbidity can be complex and burdensome. Therefore, clinicians need guidance on how to manage ASCVD progression and adverse cardiovascular events, while considering other chronic conditions and patient preferences.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the ATP citrate lyase inhibitor Bempedoic acid can significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and is associated with a low incidence of muscle-related adverse events. Among patients unable or unwilling to take statins, Bempedoic acid treatment significantly reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

This article reviews the history of LDL-C as a quality and performance metric and presents rationales for re-establishing LDL-C measurement to improve cholesterol control and reduce CVD morbidity and mortality, healthcare disparities, and costs.

Summary: High levels of Lp(a) are an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Genetic factors determine 70% to 90% of interindividual heterogeneity in Lp(a) levels. There is a lack of standardized assays, diagnostic guidelines, and targeted treatments for lowering Lp(a). Understanding the genetic and biological basis for variation in Lp(a) levels in different populations is crucial.

Summary: The risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) varies significantly in both generally healthy individuals and those with known ASCVD. Preventive cardiology focuses on assessing baseline ASCVD risk and using lifestyle management and pharmacologic therapy to reduce risk based on risk scores. Additional factors like traditional risk factors, novel biomarkers, and inflammatory factors can further assess ASCVD risk, especially in borderline or intermediate risk cases. Accurate risk assessment is crucial in targeting preventive therapies for ASCVD.
