  • Title: Genetics of Triglyceride-Rich Lipoproteins Guide Identification of Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction.
    Author: Shaik A, Rosenson RS.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Drugs Ther; 2021 Jun; 35(3):677-690. PubMed ID: 33710501.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Despite aggressive reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), there is a residual risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hypertriglyceridemia is known to be associated with increased CVD risk, independently of LDL-C. Triglycerides are one component of the heterogenous class of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRLs). METHODS/RESULTS: Growing evidence from biology, epidemiology, and genetics supports the contribution of TGRLs to the development of CVD via a number of mechanisms, including through proinflammatory, proapoptotic, and procoagulant pathways. CONCLUSION: New genetics-guided pharmacotherapies to reduce levels of triglycerides and TGRLs and thus reduce risk of CVD have been developed and will be discussed here.
