Track: Preventive Cardiology and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction
Despite decades of effective antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the world's leading cause of premature death, demanding upstream precision prevention strategies. The Preventive Cardiology & Cardiovascular Risk Reduction session at Heart Congress 2027 examines polygenic risk scores for early ASCVD identification, PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran in very high-risk populations, and the landmark SELECT trial establishing cardiovascular mortality benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in overweight patients without diabetes. The session also addresses emerging RNA-targeted therapies for lipoprotein(a) reduction, bempedoic acid in statin-intolerant patients, anti-inflammatory cardiovascular risk reduction with colchicine, and the social determinants driving cardiovascular health inequity.
Key Discussion Areas:
• Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for early ASCVD risk prediction
• PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran: LDL lowering in very high-risk populations
• Cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists: SELECT trial and beyond
• Lipoprotein(a): pelacarsen, olpasiran and emerging RNA-targeted therapies
• Bempedoic acid and non-statin lipid-lowering in statin intolerance
• Inflammatory cardiovascular risk: colchicine, IL-1β inhibition, and hsCRP
• Lifestyle medicine: dietary patterns, exercise prescription, and cardiovascular reversal
• Social determinants of cardiovascular health and health equity in prevention
Why Attend This Session?
Preventive cardiologists, lipidologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians will gain a comprehensive update on evidence-based risk stratification tools, emerging lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory therapies, and cardiometabolic risk management strategies applicable across diverse patient populations.
