🚨 Trig Trivia Tuesday - Boost your TrigIQ:
In SHASTA-2, plozasiran helped 90.6% of patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia drop TGs <500 mg/dL by week 24—and 76.5% stayed there through week 48. Nearly 50% reached normal TGs (<150 mg/dL).

Welcome Back to #TrigTriviaTuesday!
HTG-related pancreatitis = more ICU admissions, systemic complications & longer stays (Maat et al., 2021).
Early, aggressive TG reduction improves outcomes & lowers organ failure risk (Nawaz et al., 2015).

🔹 Welcome to #TrigTriviaTuesday - where we help boost your #TrigIQ.
Did you know high triglycerides can trigger #AcutePancreatitis— and it’s often more severe and deadly than other causes?
Even one episode increases future risk. Repeated flares? They can lead to #chronicpancreatitis or worse.
