I wonder why your cardiologist didn’t try Inclisiran, the siRNA for LDL? Not that I know anything except that the drug is out there.

I wonder whether the high LDL is useful in some way for some people? My cardiologist says no because the brain makes plenty of LDL even when you rid the body of some of it with statins or Repatha. I have low confidence in that explanation.

Hi @tatiana987. I like your suggestion. Repatha didn’t work well for me. I have now had 5 Inclisiran injections and my cholesterol has never been better controlled. A previous doctor kept telling me Inclisiran is the same thing and won’t work for me. He was wrong!

Are you taking Repatha again, or anything else for high cholesterol? Have you been able to learn more about siRNA type drugs since we last “chatted”?
