CLAIM CARD
Mechanistic data remain provocative but indirect: PCSK9 inhibition appears to attenuate vascular aging markers and efferocytosis defects in preclinical models, and a systematic review of vascular aging reported that patients with higher pulse wave velocity had approximately 46.2% increased risk of poor functional outcomes and 12.7% higher mortality after acute ischemic stroke.
