Lp(a) doesn't just add risk-it reframes it (often a lifelong, family conversation). The question isn't "should we test?" but how we implement testing so results are clear and actionable @lipidjournal.bsky.social

Many patients use supplements, and recent studies have addressed their impact on LDL-C. Current evidence shows no relevant effect of diet composition on LDL cholesterol. The class III recommendation is an important novel part of the 2025 Updated Guidelines. Read more here: eas.to/guidelines-2...

Prof. Mafalda Bourbon shares the outcomes of the high-level event at the European Parliament. She notes the solidarity across our community - patients, clinicians, and scientists - along with the goodwill of the MEP Group, and underlines prevention priorities, including FH screening for children.
Prof. Børge Nordestgaard emphasized that patients must be at the centre of the upcoming EU CV Health Plan, and our society supports them with evidence. Yesterday, their voices were heard through short, emotional testimonies that humanised the stakes of missed or late diagnoses. We are proud of you!
The EU High-Level Event on cardiovascular health is happening right now at the European Parliament 🇪🇺. Patients, policymakers & experts are coming together to highlight why early screening for FH and Lp(a) must become a European priority.
From evidence to policy – and from policy to practice! Our work goes beyond generating scientific evidence. We share the knowledge with policymakers to help shape stronger cardiovascular health strategies at the European level. You are warmly invited to join the meeting online: eas.to/EP25SepReg
Certain cancers increase CVD risk, partly beyond traditional risk factors. Earlier guidelines gave no advice on lipid lowering in survivors, but new evidence now allows updated recommendations. Read more here: eas.to/guidelines-2...

People with HIV have double the ASCVD risk, leading to a 2019 Class IIa recommendation for statins in dyslipidaemia. After the REPRIEVE trial, 2025 guidelines now give a Class I recommendation for statins in all ≥40-year-olds with HIV. Read more: eas.to/guidelines-2...

High-dose icosapent ethyl is now recommended for high-risk patients with elevated triglycerides, based on REDUCE-IT, while volanesorsen is advised for FCS patients to reduce triglycerides and pancreatitis risk, per the APPROACH trial. Read more here: eas.to/guidelines-2...
It’s unclear if lowering Lp(a) reduces ASCVD or AVS risk, so managing other risk factors and lowering LDL-C remains key. Despite earlier concerns, statins don’t raise Lp(a), and high-risk patients should still use high-intensity statins: eas.to/guidelines-2...
