Overview
The management of dyslipidemia remains a challenge despite the volume of EBM data and the availability of treatment modalities. The ASCVD epidemic is the dominant cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. The integration of the Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidemias into other documents demonstrates the importance of this issue. New findings lead to the tightening of LDL-C target values according to CV risk levels. Annual mortality after ACS in Slovakia is rising disproportionately compared to more developed countries. The root cause analysis points to poor management of risk factors after hospital discharge. Opportunities for improvement include, inter alia, the changing of the indication restrictions for PCSK9 inhibitors.
