| الوصف: | The overwhelming evidence that the reduction of LDL cholesterol (LDLc) levels is associated with a parallel reduction in cardiovascular (CV) risk has led the scientific community to progressively and constantly reduce the optimal therapeutic targets of LDLc, both in patients with known CV disease and in patients undergoing primary prevention. The recent introduction of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors has allowed clinicians to observe reductions in LDLc levels that go well beyond the limits set by the main international guidelines; following the ‘the lower the better’ paradigm, it is natural to ask how low LDLc can be reduced, whether this intervention is associated with a further reduction in CV risk and, above all, whether there are no issues related to safety in the use of polypharmacotherapies that determine an extreme reduction in LDLc levels. The purpose of this article is to summarize the main scientific evidence on the topic, trying to provide an answer to all clinicians who ‘would like their LDLc to be—almost—zero’. |
