This is a review kind of presentation featuring evolution of statins usage from total cholesterol reduction to LDL reduction Hypothesis. Its documented effects in reducing cardiovascular mortality rationalizes European view of chasing LDL numbers rather than high blanket dose of statin, an American view. It also emphasizes death of HDL manipulation era and why it failed. Pleiotropic effects are also questionable. The talk will position ezetimibe and PCSK9 in current medical practices and will also feature legacy effects of statin and progressive calcification with its usage. The presentation ends with inspiration from existing guidelines. The talk will be of immense use to clinician.
