First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study used national health survey data to estimate how many US adults with high cholesterol might be eligible for a new drug called inclisiran. Researchers also calculated how many heart attacks and strokes could be prevented over 10 years if these patients took the drug. The study did not give inclisiran to anyone—it was a computer-based analysis using existing health records.
