The overall management of patients receiving inclisiran therapy is straightforward, requiring no complex administration; the costs for ordering the therapy arise in the outpatient setting only after reimbursement by the health insurance company (with an invoice maturity of 60–75 days). Due to favorable indication criteria, the therapy is generally accessible, and administration is not limited to specialized centers. The therapy guarantees the achievement of target LDL-C values in over 63.4 % of patients, for whom we would not have reached target LDL-C values without this therapy. We anticipate that the availability and potential widespread implementation of this therapy in patients with very high CV risk could lead to better management of hyperlipidemia and significant reductions in CV morbidity and mortality. Since this is a pilot observational study with limitations regarding sample size, we expect the contribution of additional larger studies that would examine the more comprehensive effects of hypolipidemic therapy with inclisiran, involving multiple centers and a broader patient group.
