Abstract:Proprotein convertase subtilisin Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has become an essential target for regulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level. PCSK9 inhibitors significantly reduces plasma LDL-C level, Statins also reduces LDL-C level but raises PCSK9 level. A quantity of clinical trials has verified the efficacy and safety of Statins in combination with PCSK9 inhibitors. Although different types of PCSK9 inhibitor act in varying ways, their effects are the same in different patients, and the ongoing clinical trials will further demonstrate their safety and role in reducing cardiovascular risk.
