Implementation of Novel Lipid Therapies in a Refractory Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Patient With Atherosclerotic Disease.

Although new treatment options are emerging, the stepwise approach to the use of different therapies has not been well described. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
