Dr underberg. First went over new lipid guidelines presented at AHA Next topic residual risk after statin 56-76%. Of course discussed zetia and pcsk9’s Pcsk9’s 16%rrr mace NOT cv death
10 minutes left In lecture -no V yet!!
Lecture over. No V mention
I submitted a RI question
He’s answering my question now!!
His response. “I have to be careful not to call this a fish oil” it is a purified epa” He then accurately described the study He gave the 25% mace in all subgroups and consistent Then said “ if you need to lower ldl use statins zetia and pcsk9’s- you can then use V as an adjunct if patient has high trigs” Then said “all other omega 3 studies have failed “ Then said. V is “very intriguing “ but we don’t yet know if it works as well in normal trigs as well as high trigs”
Overall not a bad response. Was hoping for a stronger response but it was as I expected for a guideline writer
