About the PCSK9 Education and Research Forum

PCSK9 Education and Research Forum is the independent resource on PCSK9 science and its translation into critically important new treatments to lower low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which promise to transform the prognosis of millions of patients with hypercholesterolaemia (cholesterol disorders), accelerated atherosclerotic vascular heart disease and a high risk of premature cardiovascular (CV) death and disability.

PCSK9 Forum Inhibitors and Health Economics

The value of PCSK9 inhibition in very high risk patients is a Hot Topic in the light of recent data from the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Economics Study. How do these data relate to the current clinical pathway used in the European setting?

PCSK9 Forum Editor Professor Anthony Wierzbicki (Guys and St. Thomas’ Hospital London, UK) puts the results in context.

Coronary artery calcium in familial hypercholesterolaemia

Coronary artery calcium may have a role in stratifying short-term risk in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH, inherited high cholesterol), according to a new study. This noninvasive approach may have value in targeting treatment with a PCSK9 inhibitor to those patients at highest risk.

From the Editors

Did someone say “Beyond LDL-cholesterol”?

PCSK9 Forum Editor Professor John Chapman (Pitié-Salpétrière University Hospital, and Sorbonne University, Paris, France) discusses how ‘OMICS’ technologies could provide a precision medicine approach to managing non-LDL lipids.
