“A significant presence in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Remnant cholesterol: A review
Remnant cholesterol: the overlooked driver of residual risk in ASCVD
Despite achieving LDL-C targets with statins and novel lipid-lowering therapies, patients remain exposed to substantial residual cardiovascular risk. Emerging evidence highlights remnant cholesterol (RC)—the cholesterol content of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins—as a causal factor in atherosclerosis.
Epidemiological, genetic, and mechanistic studies consistently show that elevated RC predicts major adverse cardiovascular events, independently of LDL-C. Mendelian randomization confirms a causal role, while clinical data suggest that RC promotes endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and thrombosis.
Although lifestyle interventions remain essential, pharmacologic strategies—including statins, fibrates, PCSK9 inhibitors, and novel gene-targeted therapies—can reduce RC levels. However, standardized measurement and clear therapeutic targets are still lacking.
RC should be recognized as a priority marker in cardiovascular prevention, guiding future strategies to reduce residual risk in high-risk populations”
