Abstract
Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) represent a significant global health challenge arising from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels being a primary contributor. Despite standard statin therapy, individuals with ACS remain at high risk for recurrent cardiovascular events, particularly in the initial post-ACS period. Monoclonal antibodies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), such as evolocumab and alirocumab, offer a potential strategy to reduce LDL-C levels further and mitigate this residual risk. This review delves into the molecular mechanisms, effects on cholesterol metabolism, inflammatory modulation, and clinical outcomes associated with early administration of PCSK9 inhibitors following ACS.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
