Overview

It is an exciting time for those clinicians who manage patients with dyslipidemia. The field has medical therapies, novel and highly targeted mechanisms of action, new delivery methods, and safety and tolerability that suggest our therapeutic arsenal will be expanding soon and rapidly. At the AHA Scientific Sessions in New Orleans in November 2025, several very noteworthy trials were presented and warranted inclusion in the ‘Late Breaker’ sessions—a remarkable burst of new and exciting data. Our expert faculty—Drs. Brown, Taub, and Toth were there on the scene and selected the trials that they felt were most impactful. In this continuing education podcast, they discuss these new data and provide contextualization for their potential clinical impact.
