Injectable lipid-lowering therapy for patients at high risk for CV disease complications or with severe inherited hypercholesterolemias can be an important element of the available therapeutic armamentarium. Clinical data prove the favorable risk-benefit profile of evolocumab, alirocumab, and inclisiran. Mipomersen, volanesorsen, ISIS 681257, evinacumab, and IONIS-ANGPTL3Rx safety is currently less extensively studied, especially in patients with comorbidities and polypharmacotherapy.
