Track: Preventive Cardiology and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction

Preventive Cardiology Conference 2027

Despite decades of effective antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the world's leading cause of premature death, demanding upstream precision prevention strategies. The Preventive Cardiology & Cardiovascular Risk Reduction session at Heart Congress 2027 examines polygenic risk scores for early ASCVD identification, PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran in very high-risk populations, and the landmark SELECT trial establishing cardiovascular mortality benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in overweight patients without diabetes. The session also addresses emerging RNA-targeted therapies for lipoprotein(a) reduction, bempedoic acid in statin-intolerant patients, anti-inflammatory cardiovascular risk reduction with colchicine, and the social determinants driving cardiovascular health inequity.


Key Discussion Areas:


• Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for early ASCVD risk prediction

• PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran: LDL lowering in very high-risk populations

• Cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists: SELECT trial and beyond

• Lipoprotein(a): pelacarsen, olpasiran and emerging RNA-targeted therapies

• Bempedoic acid and non-statin lipid-lowering in statin intolerance

• Inflammatory cardiovascular risk: colchicine, IL-1β inhibition, and hsCRP

• Lifestyle medicine: dietary patterns, exercise prescription, and cardiovascular reversal

• Social determinants of cardiovascular health and health equity in prevention


Why Attend This Session?


Preventive cardiologists, lipidologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians will gain a comprehensive update on evidence-based risk stratification tools, emerging lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory therapies, and cardiometabolic risk management strategies applicable across diverse patient populations.
