And this is from the Current Treatments page of that site. Would be nice if they added Vascepa somewhere, no? One has to dig much deeper to find it - madness.

CURRENT TREATMENTS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR RISK
High cholesterol is a key cardiovascular (CV) risk factor.9 Statins and a newer injectable therapy called PCSK9 inhibitors help lower high cholesterol.15,16

We’ll start with statins, since they’re currently the first-line therapy for cholesterol lowering. Statins have been around since the ‘90s and are proven to help lower LDL-C (bad cholesterol).17

MANY PEOPLE TAKE STATINS FOR THEIR HEART HEALTH. BUT STATINS, ALONG WITH DIET AND EXERCISE, STILL LEAVE PERSISTENT CV RISK (P-CVR).11

If your doctor decides that your bad cholesterol needs to be even lower than what can be achieved with statin therapy, you might be prescribed a PCSK9 inhibitor.15,16 This type of LDL-C lowering therapy has been around since 2015, and in 2019, PCSK9 inhibitors were FDA-approved to reduce the risk of certain CV events.18,19
