Through scientific and clinical excellence, and a deep
understanding of cholesterol biology, the experienced Lipid
Management Team at Esperion is committed to developing new LDL-C
lowering medicines that will make a substantial impact on reducing
global cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death around
the world. For more information, please visit www.esperion.com and

Esperion Therapeutics’ Commitment to Patients with
Hyperlipidemia
High levels of LDL-C can lead to a build-up of fat and
cholesterol in and on artery walls (known as atherosclerosis),
potentially leading to cardiovascular events, including heart
attack and stroke. In the U.S., 96 million people, or more than 37
percent of the adult population, have elevated LDL-C. There are
approximately 18 million people in the U.S. living with elevated
levels of LDL-C despite taking maximally tolerated lipid-modifying
therapy — including individuals considered statin averse — leaving
them at high risk for cardiovascular events1. In the United States,
more than 50 percent of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(ASCVD) patients and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
(HeFH) patients who are not able to reach their guideline
recommended LDL-C levels with statins alone need less than a 40
percent reduction to reach their LDL-C threshold goal2.
Esperion's mission as the Lipid Management Company is to deliver
oral, once-daily medicines that complement existing oral drugs to
provide the additional LDL-C lowering that these patients need.
