The @nationallipid has published an important new meta-analysis evaluating the impact of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in primary prevention populations.
The study synthesizes data from randomized trials of both statin and non-statin therapies and updates the landmark 2012 analysis from the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists’ Collaboration.
Prof. @ProfKausikRay said: "I was honoured to collaborate with NLA colleagues on this important research. This systematic review and meta-analysis of all available trial data in patients without pre-existing cardiovascular disease demonstrates that, irrespective of how LDL cholesterol is lowered, there are greater relative benefits than expected compared with starting treatment in patients with pre-existing disease.
The findings are immediately actionable and should be used by clinicians in shared decision-making. This greater ‘return on investment’ per 1 mmol/L reduction suggests that health systems should prioritise primary prevention earlier as a means to reduce the global burden of cardiovascular disease."
