Abstract
Background Secondary prevention lifestyle and pharmacological treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) reduce a high proportion of recurrent events and mortality. However, significant gaps exist between guideline recommendations and usual clinical practice. Objectives Describe the state of the art, the roadblocks, and successful strategies to overcome them in ASCVD secondary prevention management. Methods A writing group reviewed guidelines and research papers and received inputs from an international committee composed of cardiovascular prevention and health systems experts about the article's structure, content, and draft. Finally, an external expert group reviewed the paper. Results Smoking cessation, physical activity, diet and weight management, antiplatelets, statins, beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, and cardiac rehabilitation reduce events and mortality. Potential roadblocks may occur at the individual, healthcare provider, and health system levels and include lack of access to healthcare and medicines, clinical inertia, lack of primary care infrastructure or built environments that support preventive cardiovascular health behaviours. Possible solutions include improving health literacy, self-management strategies, national policies to improve lifestyle and access to secondary prevention medication (including fix-dose combination therapy), implementing rehabilitation programs, and incorporating digital health interventions. Digital tools are being examined in a range of settings from enhancing self-management, risk factor control, and cardiac rehab. Conclusions Effective strategies for secondary prevention management exist, but there are barriers to their implementation. WHF roadmaps can facilitate the development of a strategic plan to identify and implement local and national level approaches for improving secondary prevention.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of inclisiran therapy on parameters of lipid metabolism in hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, observational, non-randomized study was performed. The study included 12 patients with acute ischemic stroke prescribed with a combination lipid-lowering therapy with inclisiran (284 mg as a single dose). At 15 days after the start of therapy, changes in blood lipid composition were assessed. For quantitative variables, median, maximum and minimum values were determined. The significance of differences between related samples in quantitative variables was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS Before the start of combination lipid-lowering therapy, total cholesterol (TC) was 7.33 mmol/l and low-density lipoprotein C (LDL-C) was 5.23 mmol/l. At 15 days after the start of inclisiran therapy, TC significantly decreased by 52.1 % and LDL-C decreased by 71.1 %. The proportion of patients who reached the LDL-C goal was 66.7 %. There were no adverse events considered by the investigators to be related with the therapy. CONCLUSION The strategy of early administration of inclisiran (or its combination with a statin) in patients with ischemic stroke allows safe achievement of a significant reduction in LDL-C already in 15 days after the start of therapy.
