Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) would be responsible for more than 120,000 deaths per year in Spain. Cardiovascular risk is the expression of the combined effect of a series of risk factors, some of which are modifiable, such as High blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus, smoking, obesity and LDLc. Secondary prevention of CVD aims to delay disease progression and reduce subsequent cardiovascular events. The relative decrease in the risk of CVD is related to the absolute reduction in LDL-C. The therapeutic target for c-LDL in patients with established CVD is < 55 mg/dl + a 50% reduction compared to baseline values. Several lipid-lowering agents are available: specific 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, selective cholesterol absorption inhibitors (such as ezetimibe) and PCSK9 inhibitors (IPCSK9), which are the most recent and sometimes the only effective therapeutic tool for achieving the LDL-C targets. We hypothesize that IPCSK9 is effective in real clinical practice in lowering c-LDL levels to target values (c-LDL <= 55 mg/dl + 50% reduction) in patients treated with maximum doses of statins and ezetimibe and with c-LDL >100 mg/dl. Objective: To describe the role of IPCSK9 in the reduction of LDL-C in patients in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, in real clinical practice. Material and methods: We have conducted a retrospective, observational study involving 55 patients undergoing secondary prevention of cardiovascular events with LDL-C levels > 100 mg/dl who opted for treatment with IPCSK9. Data were collected on their cardiovascular risk factors, pre- and post-initiation LDL-C values, cardiovascular events since initiation and adverse events. Results: 53 patients were included, 37 men (69.81%) and 16 women (30.19%). They were prescribed IPCSK9 (alirocumab 75 mg and 150 mg and evolocumab 140 mg) with the indication of secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. The prescriptions were issued by the Endocrinology, Cardiology and Internal Medicine Departments. All patients were receiving treatment with statins, and 79.25% with ezetimibe in combination. The mean LDL-C reduction 8-12 weeks after initiation was 50.51%, achieving LDL-C < 100 mg/dl in 83% of patients, 62.3% with LDL-C < 70 mg/dl, 47.2% with LDL-C < 55 mg/dl. Also, 1 (1.88%) patient developed CVD after the start of treatment, due to peripheral arterial disease. Only 2 patients (3.77%) had side effects. Conclusions: The response to treatment with IPCSK9 in real clinical practice in secondary prevention of cardiovascular event has been a mean reduction of 51.99% of c-LDL. However, 52.8% of patients do not achieve the target c-LDL < 55 mg/dL. A statistically significant difference was observed in the reduction of LDL-C <55 mg/dL, being greater in men than in women.
