In line with the Safe Hearts Plan ♥️, and building on the Commission’s vision for personalised prevention, EAS, Lp(a) and FHEF stand ready to support the development of an EU Protocol on Cardiovascular Health Checks that integrates early-life screening into a coherent lifecourse approach. Such a protocol should include systematic lipid screening for children in the first decade of life, integrated into existing child health and vaccination programmes; measurement of a full lipid profile including LDL cholesterol, Lp(a) and triglycerides; family-based cascade and reverse-cascade testing; and seamless integration with adult cardiometabolic health checks.
Digital tools and artificial intelligence, aligned with the European Health Data Space, should be used to support risk prediction and personalised prevention, while ensuring transparency, explainability and clinician-mediated decision-making, in line with patient trust and ethical standards.
This approach is fully aligned with findings from Commission co-funded projects, including PERFECTO FH and FH-EARLY, and supports the Plan’s objectives to reduce inequalities, improve outcomes and strengthen health system sustainability.

🚨 2025 ESC/EAS Focused Update on Dyslipidaemias 🚨
Key practice-changing highlights:
🔹 New SCORE2 & SCORE2-OP risk algorithms
🔹 Introduction of bempedoic acid and evinacumab for LDL-C lowering
🔹 Early, intensive lipid-lowering therapy recommended in ACS during index hospitalization
🔹 Lp(a) >50 mg/dL (≥105 nmol/L) recognized as a risk modifier
🔹 Updated recommendations on hypertriglyceridaemia including novel RNA-based therapies
🔹 Strong evidence for statins in people with HIV (REPRIEVE trial)
🔹 Guidance for cancer patients at high CV risk under chemotherapy
🔹 Clear statement: dietary supplements show no proven CV benefit
📌 A step forward towards more personalized and aggressive prevention in high-risk patients.

We are pleased to announce that the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), together with the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS), has published the 2025 Focused Update of the 2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias: https://t.co/7KcqJjRchA
Since the publication of the 2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias: lipid modification to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk, there have been several randomized controlled trials that might change patient management ahead of the next scheduled full dyslipidaemia Guidelines.
This 2025 Focused Update addresses changes in recommendations for the treatment of dyslipidaemias based on new evidence published up until March 31, 2025. @ProfKausikRay@KatiOorni
