What is the
connection?
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a type of heart disease caused by consistent high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood that lead to the buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries. In people with ASCVD, the plaque buildup has resulted in problems related to bad cholesterol, such as:
heart attack
stroke
blockages within the arteries, causing chest pain
If you have ASCVD, it's important to lower your bad cholesterol.
It is not known if LEQVIO® can decrease problems related to high levels of bad cholesterol, such as heart attacks or stroke.

Struggling to
lower your bad
cholesterol (LDL-C)?
You're doing everything you can to lower your bad cholesterol. Diet. Exercise. Statins. Or even another cholesterol-lowering treatment. But sometimes your current treatment, with healthy food choices and more physical activity, still isn't enough.
And while you can't control factors like age or genetics, you can partner with your health care provider to help manage your treatment.
