Abstract
This article presents a two-year experience with inclisiran, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor, at the Sakhalin Regional Clinical Hospital. Lipid profile dynamics over a two-year follow-up period in 14 patients are described, demonstrating that triple lipid-lowering therapy (statin, ezetimibe, and inclisiran) reduced total cholesterol by 54%, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 70.4%, and triglycerides by 49.6% from baseline. Information on reported injection site reactions that forced drug discontinuation in two patients is presented. Four clinical cases demonstrating the specific features of Inclisiran use are examined in more detail.
