"Are new lipid lowering agents a good option for achieving lipid goals in people living with HIV? A case report".

The dyslipidemia in people living with HIV differs from the general population because combination antiretroviral therapy may not only induce dyslipidemia but also interact with lipid-lowering agents.Monoclonal antibodies that target proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) have recently been demonstrated to dramatically reduce LDL-C level (>60%) in the majority of cases, and another interesting new option is inclisiran, a first-in-class, cholesterol-lowering small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting PCSK9 mRNA and conjugated to triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine carbohydrates (GalNAc).We present the clinical case of a 62-year-old man living with HIV and dyslipidemia in whom new hypolipidemic drugs were fundamental in achieving adequate LDL values to prevent cardiovascular events.
