I agree that this educational programme:
Early (in-hospital) initiation of PCSK9 inhibitor therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome may provide additional clinical benefit when used on top of statin treatment. This BluePrint describes current recommendations regarding low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets in patients with ACS, the role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and the rationale for its inhibition in ACS, and the expected clinical impact of PCSK9 inhibitors in the acute phase of ACS.
Development of this BluePrint was supported by an Independent Educational Grant from Amgen.
CORONARY CONNECT is an initiative of COR2ED, supported by an Independent Educational Grant from Amgen.
