CardioVasc Aims and scope

Eine therapeutische Beeinflussung des Lipidstoffwechsels durch nicht medikamentöse und medikamentöse Maßnahmen ist wesentlicher Bestandteil in der Primär- und insbesondere Sekundärprävention kardiovaskulärer Hochrisikopatienten. Die Absenkung der LDL-Cholesterinkonzentration nimmt dabei eine zentrale Rolle ein. Neben der fest etablierten Therapie mit Statinen sind mit der intestinalen Cholesterinresorptions-Hemmung und der PCSK9-Hemmung weitere Therapieformen verfügbar geworden, die eine zusätzliche erhebliche Absenkung der LDL-Cholesterinkonzentration ermöglichen. Somit stellt sich die Frage nach einer möglichen „unteren Grenze“ für die therapeutische Senkung der LDL-Cholesterinkonzentration.
