That Depends: On the part of the lipid profile that you are trying to treat. Are you wanting to know new statins? Fibrates? Statin/niacin combos? Statin/zetia combos, new omega-3 products. Most recent (and potent) statin was crestor, (rosuvastatin) new omega-3, epa only fish oil: vascepa, newer fibrates: antara, trilipix... I also like doing advanced cardiac genetics and expanded lipid profiles!

The newest: PCSK9s: The PCSK9 inhibitors are a new class of drugs that have been shown to dramatically lower LDL cholesterol levels. PCSK9 inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies (MABs), a type of biologic drug. They inactivate a protein in the liver called proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9).
