🔥 Beyond LDL: 🔬 Residual Risk After PCI: It's the Inflammation


Listen Later

🚨 New insights from EHJ 2025! 🚨

In statin-treated patients undergoing PCI, inflammation (hsCRP ≥2 mg/L)—not elevated LDL-C—was the strongest predictor of MACE at 1 year 🔥🧪

📊 Bay et al. show that residual inflammatory risk carries a 1.8x higher hazard for adverse events, while LDL-C alone showed no independent risk 💥

🧠 Time to shift focus beyond lipids: consider anti-inflammatory therapies, remnant cholesterol, and Lp(a) in risk stratification 🩺🎯
