Dyslipidemia – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Dyslipidemia (US)

Dyslipidemia, characterized by abnormal lipid levels, plays a pivotal role in the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease. To address this risk factor, physicians use a range of lipid-modifying therapies, including statins, ezetimibe, fibrates, omega-3 fatty acid compounds, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Statins stand out because of their favorable risk-benefit profile and robust evidence supporting their efficacy in reducing CV morbidity and mortality. However, the landscape of dyslipidemia treatment extends beyond statins. Numerous later-line therapies, each backed by varying degrees of supportive data, vie for prominence in the market. These alternatives offer additional options for managing lipid levels and optimizing CV risk reduction. Using longitudinal claims data analysis, we demonstrate how newly diagnosed and recently treated dyslipidemia patients are treated in the United States.
