Near-term implementable finding

First real-world experience with inclisiran in Spain: Efficacy, safety, and prescription patterns in clinical practice.

Inclisiran's twice-yearly dosing and strong LDL-cholesterol reduction offer a practical option for patients struggling with statin therapy.

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a key causal factor in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and inclisiran—a small interfering RNA inhibiting hepatic PCSK9 synthesis—has demonstrated marked LDL-C reductions in clinical trials. In this first real-world Spanish cohort, inclisiran showed a favorable safety profile and twice-yearly administration that supports its practical integration into clinical lipid-lowering practice, particularly for patients with statin intolerance or adherence difficulties.
