PositiveHealth

Merck has introduced a new PCSK9 pill that significantly reduces heart attack and stroke rates by 20% in high-risk patients within a year. This development is particularly important as it offers a more affordable option for millions of people at risk of heart disease. The PCSK9 protein targeted by the drug is crucial in cholesterol management, and Merck's history of introducing statins nearly 40 years ago positions it as a leader in cardiovascular treatments. This breakthrough could reshape the future of cholesterol management and heart disease prevention.
