Abstract

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: Primary To quantify the short (24 weeks), medium (one year), and long-term (five year) effects of PCSK9MABs on lipid parameters and CVD risk. Secondary To quantify the safety of PCSK9 MABs, specifically focusing on the incidence of type 2 diabetes, cognitive function, and cancer. Additionally, we will determine if treatment should be tailored to certain patient subgroups that are more or less likely to benefit from PCSK9 MABs.
