    Preclinical evidence suggests that proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors hold anti-inflammatory properties independently of their ability to lower LDL-cholesterol (C). However, whether PCSK9 inhibitors exert anti-inflammatory effects within the atherosclerotic plaque in humans is unknown. We explored the impact of PCSK9 inhibitors, used as monotherapy, compared with other lipid-lowering drugs (oLLD) on the expression of inflammatory markers within the plaque, assessing also the subsequent incidence of cardiovascular events.

    Pioneering cardiologist James Muller, MD, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, was one of the chief researchers that developed the concept of vulnerable plaques causing heart attacks. He was recently honored by the American College of Cardiology for his contributions.
