The Emerging Role of Inclisiran in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Management
Welcome to our latest video! This video explores the emerging role of inclisiran, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic that targets PCSK9, in the management of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The summary delves into the mechanism of actions of inclisiran, its safety profile, results from clinical trials and the latest data presented at the ESC congress.

Lp(a):What is it and its role in atherosclerosis
In this video, Prof. Lale Tokgozoglu of Hacettepe University, former president of the European Atherosclerosis Society, discusses the structure, function, and genetics of Lp(a) and highlights the clinical implications of elevated Lp(a) levels. Using evidence from contemporary clinical studies, Prof. Tokgozoglu shares insights into approaches for lowering Lp(a) levels. Finally, challenges in the comprehensive understanding of the physiological and clinical implications of Lp(a) are discussed. Learning outcome – High levels of lipoprotein(a) increase the chances of experiencing heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis.

Lipid measurements in the management of cardiovascular diseases
In this video, Prof. Stephen Nicholls provides a comprehensive overview of our infographic on lipid measurements and their clinical implications, serving as a helpful resource for healthcare professionals involved in managing cardiovascular disease. Covering atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid profile components, advanced tests, and genetic considerations, Prof. Nicholls emphasizes individualized approaches to interpreting lipid parameters based on patient demographics and risk levels. This aims to guide clinicians in optimizing lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular risk prevention.
