Esperion bempedoic acid receives level 1a recommendation in ESC/EAS guidelines

Esperion (ESPR) announces the inclusion of bempedoic acid as the only non-statin newly recommended for LDL-C lowering and cardiovascular risk reduction in the 2025 Focused Update of the 2019 European Society of Cardiology, ESC /European Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines, EAS, for the Management of Dyslipidaemias. “Recognition from Europe’s premier cardiovascular medical association further validates the clinical benefit of bempedoic acid in cardiovascular risk reduction,” said Sheldon Koenig, President and CEO of Esperion. “This recommendation marks a significant milestone for our European partner, Daiichi Sankyo Europe, as they continue to expand access across Europe, and is equally meaningful for our efforts in the U.S., where we anticipate the European guidelines will inform upcoming U.S. cholesterol treatment guidelines.”
