Prescriber Uptake and Use of Novel Lipid‐Lowering Therapies
The majority of US clinicians prescribing LLT have never prescribed a PCSK9i or BA, and among those who do, most have used these therapies in only a few patients. However, there exist distinct groups of early adopters and high-volume users with higher approval rates, slightly more years in practice, and more cardiologists. Given that prescription approval rates for both PCSK9i and BA have now increased to >80% in our analysis, increasing uptake of novel LLT will require interventions to increase use among clinicians.
