Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events are among the leading causes of death in women in the US and globally. Even with advances in LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) lowering therapy, LDL-C goal achievement in high-risk women is lower than that in men, with clinical inertia, statin intolerance, and non-adherence being major factors.

The coexistence of type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease significantly exacerbates cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality compared to either condition alone. Even with the advent of newer therapies in patients with T2D and CKD, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, residual morbidity, and mortality remain, and additional strategies to slow kidney disease progression, particularly to address inflammation and fibrosis as a contributing factor to CKD progression, are needed.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects an estimated 25-30% of people in the United States and can often progress to Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and cirrhosis. MASH represents a metabolic-driven array of multi-organ pathology that intersects with obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular ailments. Many agents are currently in development for treatment of MASH, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-Ras).

Effectively and safely lowering LDL-C is essential to prevent and reduce the risk of recurrent ASCVD events. Despite advancements in LDL-C lowering therapies, achieving LDL-C targets remains suboptimal due to clinical inertia and patient non-adherence, contributing to patient's residual ASCVD risk. The landscape of LDL-C lowering therapies is rapidly evolving, with several new and emerging agents that may help bridge these gaps.

The management of AA in adolescents presents various challenges to dermatology professionals, including identification of AA, limited effective treatment options, and high disease burden. Because hair loss has a significant physical and psychological impact on a child’s development, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Currently there is only one systemic therapy approved for adolescents; however, there are additional therapies on the horizon with promising data.

Traditional treatments for seborrheic dermatitis, including oral and topical steroids, present a variety of challenges including lack of efficacy, adverse events with long-term use, limitations for adherence, and the inability to treat both hair- and non-hair-bearing areas. Recently, the first targeted therapy for treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, a PDE-4 inhibitor topical foam, was approved by the FDA.

Various gaps in the management of psoriasis in patients with SOC persist due to a lack of training for dermatology practitioners. As a result, patients with SOC are often misdiagnosed, experience more severe disease, and experience more disease burden. Given the predicted increase in the SOC population over the next decades, improving the diagnosis and management of psoriasis in these patients is critical.

Residual ASCVD risk may be present even after the optimization of LDL-C levels and increasing evidence has suggested that elevated Lp(a) is an emerging CVD risk factor that has been shown to be a causal CVD risk factor in epidemiological and genetic studies, as well as enhance CVD risk prediction in certain patients. As emerging CVD risk factors, including Lp(a), are increasingly recognized as a target for therapy in the prevention and treatment of ASCVD, clinicians should be aware of the therapeutic advances in this field.

Effectively managing high cholesterol level and safely lowering LDL-C is crucial for preventing and reducing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, achieving LDL-C goals remains suboptimal, particularly in high-risk and very high-risk patients. The landscape of lipid lowering therapy has significantly evolved, with new consensus statements, newer agents, and important evidence that may help address some current gaps.
