The development of lipid modifying drugs was expanding during the past 30 years. Statins stay to be the first choice drugs in dyslipidemia treatment. Inhibitors of proprotein convertase subtilisin- kexin type 9 (PCSK9) enzyme in combination with statin and/or ezetimibe represent very effective therapy and better atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prevention. Antisense therapy based on oligonucleotides belongs to the new technology drugs. This therapy inhibits translation of some proteins important for the production of atherogenic lipid particles. Inclisiran is a small interfering RNA that suppresses translation of PCSK9 in the liver cells. It is applied subcutaneously twice a year and it represents a big chance for the improvement of ASCVD treatment and prevention.

Keywords: statins, antisense therapy, inclisiran, RNA interference, dyslipidemia therapy.
