CETP inhibition Reduces Cardiovascular Events by Lowering of Cumulative LDL Exposure: Reconciling Evidence from Human Genetics and Clinical Trials
2024-12-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Genetic studies consistently demonstrate that individuals born with reduced Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) activity experience lower rates of atherosclerotic vascular disease throughout their lives. In contrast, short-term randomized controlled trials of CETP inhibitors have yielded mixed results, with only one of four trials reporting a reduction in clinical events. Several theories...
