Scientific Summary – Key Points:
1. ASCVD is often diagnosed too late, after irreversible arterial damage has occurred.
2. Early identification of high-risk patients is critical to prevent acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
3. Aggressive LDL-C lowering stabilizes coronary plaques and reduces the risk of major cardiac events.
4. Recommended therapies include:
• High-intensity statins
• Ezetimibe
• PCSK9 inhibitors
5. Clinical case discussions guided participants in applying evidence-based lipid-lowering strategies to prevent ACS.
