Two more novel lipid-lowering therapies based on silencing specific genes involved in lipid metabolism have shown promising preliminary results in initial clinical trials. The idea of using small pieces of RNA, known as small interfering RNA (siRNA) specific for a certain gene to switch off the activity of that gene is a new area for cardiovascular medicine.
