What criteria determine vascepa eligibility?

Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) eligibility criteria are primarily based on specific cardiovascular risk factors and lipid levels. Patients are eligible if they have elevated triglyceride levels of 150 mg/dL or higher despite diet and other treatments. They must also have established cardiovascular disease or certain risk factors, such as diabetes with additional risk factors, to qualify for Vascepa. Eligibility guidelines typically exclude those with uncontrolled blood pressure, liver disease, or allergy to fish or seafood. Specific criteria may vary based on clinical guidelines and individual patient assessments [1].
