Program Summary:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States, and dyslipidemia is one of the primary risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Bempedoic acid is a new non-statin lipid lowering medication that is FDA approved as monotherapy or in combination with ezetimibe as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy for the treatment of adults with established ASCVD or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia who need additional LDL lowering. This presentation will review current lipid treatment guidelines, discuss the literature evaluating safety and efficacy of bempedoic acid for the treatment of dyslipidemia, and identify patients who may benefit from bempedoic acid therapy.
