| Abstract | Purpose of review: Although high triglycerides are consistently associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), therapies that reduce triglyceride levels have inconsistently translated into reduced CVD risk. Recent findings: To date, three clinical trials have tested triglyceride-lowering therapies in patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and elevated risk of incident/recurrent CVD. In REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl-Intervention Trial), assignment to IPE, a highly purified eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), resulted in a 25% reduction in nonfatal myocardial infarction), nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death, coronary revascularization and hospitalization for unstable angina. By contrast, the combination of EPA and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) carboxylic fatty acids used in the STRENGTH trial (Statin Residual Risk With Epanova in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypertriglyceridemia) failed to reduce CVD risk. Most recently, PROMINENT (Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular Outcomes by Reducing Triglycerides in Patients with Diabetes) also failed to demonstrate reduction in CVD events despite use of a potent triglyceride-lowering, fibric-acid derivative. However, improvement in HTG-associated metabolic complications (e.g. nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) was observed with pemafibrate as well as with another potent triglyceride-lowering therapy (i.e. pegozafermin). Moreover, trials are underway evaluating whether the most fatal metabolic complication of HTG, pancreatitis, may be reduced with highly potent triglyceride-lowering therapies (e.g. apolipoprotein C3 inhibitors). Summary: Taken together, HTG is associated with increased risk of CVD and attendant adverse metabolic sequalae. To this end, a potentially promising and evidence-based landscape is emerging for treating a clinical phenotype that in the past has been insufficiently addressed. |
