Treatment of hypercholesterolaemia with PCSK9 inhibitors in patients after cardiac transplantation.

Our study demonstrates that the PCSK9 inhibitors Evolocumab and Alirocumab lead to a significant reduction of LDL Cholesterol in heart transplantation recipients. No effect on cardiac function or episodes of rejections were noticed. Larger and long-term studies are needed to establish safety and efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors after cardiac transplantation.
