Abstract: The scientific article analyzes the use of inclisiran as a therapeutic alternative for reducing LDL-C in patients with hypercholesterolemia. 243 articles from the last 10 years were analyzed in the PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO databases. 22 were selected, including clinical trials and randomized studies, resulting in 14 articles analyzed. Hypercholesterolemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and LDL-C reduction is an important preventive strategy. Inclisiran, an siRNA that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis in the liver, has shown efficacy in reducing LDL-C in patients with ASCVD or equivalent risk, even when statins were ineffective. It is administered via subcutaneous injection only twice a year, improving treatment adherence. Additionally, inclisiran has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated, with few reported side effects. In summary, inclisiran represents an innovative and convenient therapeutic alternative for LDL-C reduction, offering an effective and promising approach for patients who do not respond adequately to conventional therapies.
