Abstract
Purpose of review: To highlight critical aspects of inclisiran, from preclinical studies to current recommendations in clinical practice and future perspectives.
Recent findings: Inclisiran use has been recently approved by regulatory agencies. The evidence of its efficacy and safety makes it a promising therapeutical tool for treating dyslipidemias.
Summary: The link between LDL-cholesterol and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is well established. Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA, has proven its safety and efficacy in reducing LDL-cholesterol, and FDA and EMA have recently approved its use. This review illustrates the development, structure, and mechanism of action of inclisiran and provides information regarding its efficacy, safety, and current recommendation in clinical practice. Moreover, it provides key information on the most recent/ongoing trials that will help us to implement the use of inclisiran in clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
With its easy-to-digest reviews on important advances in world literature, Current Opinion in Lipidology offers expert evaluation on a wide range of topics from six key disciplines including nutrition and metabolism, genetics and molecular biology, and hyperlipidaemia and cardiovascular disease. Published bimonthly, each issue covers in detail the most pertinent advances in these fields from the previous year. This is supplemented by a section of Bimonthly Updates, which deliver an insight into new developments at the cutting edge of the disciplines covered in the journal.
