Nikolay Novitski: A New Era in Cardiovascular Prevention
Nikolay Novitski, Deputy chief physician, Associate professor Kaluga university, Board member Russian HF society, shared a post on X:
”Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is an important cardiovascular risk factor that is largely unaffected by lifestyle changes or statin therapy.
Emerging therapies include:
- Pela (ASO) – approximately an 80 percent reduction (expected in 2026)
- Olpa (siRNA) – approximately a 71 to 101 percent reduction (expected in 2026)
- Lepo (siRNA) – approximately a 94 percent reduction, with effects lasting up to 1.5 years after a single injection
- Muva (oral) – approximately an 86 percent reduction in Lp(a)
Important note:
- Very low Lp(a) levels may be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.”
