Inclisiran in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety for Lipid Lowering and Risk Mitigation

Abstract Background:
Intensive lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, most patients do not achieve optimal LDL-C targets due to clinical inertia, side effects, and nonadherence. Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA targeting PCSK9 synthesis, offers a novel approach for lipid lowering.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to systematically review the efficacy and safety of Inclisiran for lipid management and cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
Methods:
A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Scopus was conducted for peer-reviewed articles published between January 2020 and December 2024. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies evaluating Inclisiran in ASCVD patients were included. Primary outcomes were changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and safety profile; secondary outcomes included cardiovascular event rates and adherence.
Results:
Out of 314 identified records, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria. Inclisiran consistently reduced LDL-C by 28–60% across diverse populations. The most common adverse event was mild injection-site reactions. A significant 32% reduction in myocardial infarction incidence was reported, but effects on stroke and major adverse cardiovascular events were not statistically significant. Long-term data support durable LDL-C lowering with continued therapy.
Conclusion:
Inclisiran is a safe and effective lipid-lowering agent that significantly reduces LDL-C and is well-tolerated. Its convenient biannual dosing may improve adherence. While the reduction in myocardial infarction risk is promising, further long-term studies are needed to confirm broader cardiovascular benefits.
