Hypertension is considered as a common and powerful contributor to all the major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including coronary disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, renal disease, and heart failure. Results from the Framingham study indicated that high blood pressure (BP), even within what is regarded as the non-hypertensive range, imposes an increased risk of CVD. The median BP at which cardiovascular sequelae appeared in the Framingham study was 130/80 mmHg. Epidemiological data have shown that the risk of CVD rises with increasing BP levels, starting at ≥115/75 mmHg in a strong, independent, graded, and continuous manner. Early and aggressive BP lowering is mandatory as it can contribute to long-term CV risk reduction. According to the Framingham study data, 31% of strokes occur in patients with normal or high normal hypertension. Clinical trial data suggest that antihypertensive therapies, particularly those that block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), can reduce CVD risks at least partly independently of BP lowering, although a major controversy involves this question. An optimal strategy to reduce CV risk may include lifestyle modifications, promoting adherence to early and aggressive target level achievement, appropriate drug choice, and especially global risk reduction.

In India atherosclerotic heart disease is a primary cause of mortality and morbidity. Several hypolipidemic medications target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Statins remain the gold standard for dyslipidemia management. Despite the fact that lipid-lowering medicines, particularly statins, have demonstrated significant success in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), many patients fail to meet the lipid targets indicated by clinical recommendations. Bempedoic acid is a novel hypolipidemic agent that inhibits the adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase enzyme in the cholesterol production pathway. Results from the Cholesterol Lowering via Bempedoic Acid [ECT1002], an ACL-Inhibiting Regimen (CLEAR) trial have demonstrated that bempedoic acid added to maximally tolerated statin therapy provided long-term safety and efficacy. Bempedoic acid is a significant addition to the therapeutic options for individuals with high LDL-C. This article explores the perspectives of Indian experts on the role of bempedoic acid in lipid management.
