    Title translation Bempedoic acid, a new cholesterol-lowering agent.
    Abstract Statins have been de cornerstone for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia for decades now. More recently the introduction of the PCSK9 inhibitors, inclisiran and even more recently bempedoic acid have given us new options for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia. Bempedoic acid is a prodrug which is metabolized in the liver and not in the peripheral tissues like muscles, this means that myalgia does not occur as a side effect. Its effect on the cholesterol synthesis occurs earlier in the chain of events than that of statins which work primarily via HMGcoA reductase. Other than that is has more or less the same effect as a statin. Next to cholesterol lowering effect it has a dampening effect on inflammation another important link in atherosclerosis. Bempedoic acid is cheap making it the drug of choice after statins and ezetimibe.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the underprescription of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in individual atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in primary care.
    Setting: Screening of patient records in 39 participating general practitioners (GPs) across the Netherlands.
    Participants: We screened 101 207 patient records identifying 2375 non-valvular AF patients.
    Methods: Using electronic patient files, we were able to screen the entire GP population for AF, CHA
    Results: We found a mean CHA
    Conclusions: In this large Dutch study among GPs, we observed 9.8% underprescription of OAC in AF patients. In 76% of the AF patients lacking a prescription for OAC, no documentation for deviating from the guidelines was found. Only in a minority of cases detection of OAC underprescription lead to OAC initiation.
