Dyslipidemia is an increasingly prevalent cardiovascular risk factor worldwide, and current therapies are rapidly evolving to keep up with the spread of increased hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and low HDL-C.
On National Lipid Day 2026, the editorial team at HCPLive spoke with Joseph Saseen, PharmD, professor and associate dean for clinical affairs at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science and former president of the National Lipid Association, to discuss recent advancements in the field and how far we have yet to go.
“The medicines, at least the foundational medicines, are very affordable, if not free under some insurance plans,” Saseen told HCPLive. “Basic treatment is not costly. It does require a commitment by the provider and by the patient to not only adhere with the prescribed regimen, but more importantly, to buy into the regimen through shared decision-making, through conversations that discuss cardiovascular risk, to motivate the patient to understand the risks associated with elevated LDL-C and getting that commitment to treat.”
