PCSK9 inhibitor medications
-block the enzyme PCSK9, which
-blocks LDL from being removed from the blood
-the result: lowered LDL levels

2017 clinical trial of drug, Evolocumab (PCSK9 inhibitor)...
-2 groups: intervention group & placebo group
-intervention group had their cholesterol lowered
-placebo group's cholesterol is higher

Key point:
these drugs do lower
cholesterol, but:
is this a clinical benefit?

2017 clinical trial of drug, Evolocumab (PCSK9 inhibitor)...
-results:
-placebo group coronary revascularizations were 27% higher
-easy to recommend them by doctors concerned about LDL
-this subjective part
has large influence on
total study data
