Effect of alirocumab on coronary plaque in patients with coronary artery disease assessed by optical coherence tomography

Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been demonstrated to produce significantly greater reduction in LDL cholesterol levels and cardiovascular events than standard statin therapy. However, evidence on the impact of PCSK9 inhibitors on coronary pla...
