Transforming Cardiovascular Care: Uprooting Misperceptions and Therapeutic Inertia in Lipid Management

Despite guideline familiarity and awareness of lipid-lowering targets, many clinicians fail to translate this knowledge into clinical action, leaving patients at elevated risk for cardiovascular events. A key driver of this disconnect is therapeutic inertia particularly regarding risk assessment, intensification of statin therapy, and adoption of non-statin options such as PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9is) and inclisiran. Misperceptions persist around statin intolerance, the safety of very low LDL-C levels, and the role of aggressive lipid management across diverse populations including women, younger adults, and patients with peripheral artery disease or cerebrovascular disease. Clinicians also frequently overlook the additive ASCVD risk of elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], despite its independent, genetically determined role in atherosclerosis and the growing body of data supporting one-time screening and targeted therapy. New therapies in development, including siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides, further complicate treatment decisions and highlight the need for timely, expert-led education. In this CME Outfitters recorded webcast, expert faculty will propose a curriculum that combats inertia by dispelling persistent myths, clarifying evidence-based strategies, and empowering clinicians to implement current and emerging therapies in everyday practice to improve lipid outcomes and reduce ASCVD-related morbidity and mortality.
