Abstract in brief

  • Statins are effective for reducing cardiovascular risk but may not fully lower LDL cholesterol, leaving some residual risk.
  • Ezetimibe, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, can be added to statins to further reduce LDL levels safely and is helpful for patients with statin side effects.
  • PCSK9 inhibitors like alirocumab and evolocumab are powerful LDL-lowering agents that are used alongside statins, although they are costly and can cause injection site reactions.
