RNA Interference-based Therapies for the Reduction of Cardiovascular Risk

Globally, there remains an unwavering increase in the incidence of cvd - from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019. Among the several modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of heart disease, dyslipidemia is an important and prevalent risk factor mediated by both genetics and lifestyle factors. Hence, lowering lipid levels, specifically, ldl-c levels (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), is a key strategy in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. A reduction of 20 mg/dl in ldl-c levels has been found to prevent 2-3 cases of coronary artery disease (cad) for every 1000 individuals. Studies have also found reductions in ldl-c levels to be associated with a mortality benefit. However, ldl-c levels reduction may not eliminate the risk of significant cardiovascular events.
