Cardiovascular disease is a complex area of biology and potentially the next frontier in lipid research, with more effective treatment tools available compared to cancer or Alzheimer's disease.

“discussion Dan which is this is such a complicated area of biology that I would guess it has to be considered the next Frontier of the lipid space I mean when we take a step back and put ascvd in the context of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases right so these are the big three killers in the modern world we know so much more about asebd and we have so many more tools to effectively treat it we know a bit about these other diseases but in case of Alzheimer's is we don't have a single tool to do anything about it in the case of cancer most of our tools do nothing 90 of the tools do nothing I.E they barely extend median survival but don't cure people but in ascbd we can really move the needle and yet you could argue half of the field we still know nothing about”
