Administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors has been found to decrease sPLA
2
levels in human serum. Provided herein are methods of decreasing serum sPLA
2
levels in a subject in need thereof, as well as methods for accurately measuring sPLA
2
levels in a serum sample.

Administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors has been found to decrease cholesterol levels, atherosclerotic plaque formation and aortic aneurysm in mice, and to decrease cholesterol and triglyceride levels in humans. Interestingly, administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors was found to decrease cholesterol levels even when the inhibitors were administered only once per day. Therefore, provided herein are methods of treating dyslipidemia, CVD, and conditions associated with CVD such as atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome, by administering one or more sPLA
2
inhibitors. Significantly, administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors and various compounds used in the treatment of CVD, such as for example statins, resulted in greater decreases in LDL and LDL particle levels in a synergistic manner. In addition, administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors and statins resulted in a synergistic decrease in plaque content. Therefore, also provided herein are compositions comprising one or more sPLA
2
inhibitors and one or more compounds used in the treatment of CVD, such as for example statins, and methods of using these compositions to treat dyslipidemia, CVD, and conditions associated with CVD such as atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome.

Administration of sPLA
2
inhibitors in combination with statins has been found to reduce major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), inflammatory biomarker levels, and LDL-C levels in subjects who have recently experienced an index ACS event to a significantly greater degree than statins alone. These results were unexpected given previous results showing that statins alone are insufficient to satisfactorily reduce MACEs and inflammation in this high-risk population. Therefore, provided herein are methods of treating MACEs, treating ACS, inhibiting inflammation, and lowering cholesterol levels in a subject who has previously experienced an ACS event by administering one or more sPLA
2
inhibitors alone or in combination with one or more statins.

Niacin drugs are frequently utilized as a therapeutic to treat CVD, increase HDL levels, and/or decrease TG levels. As disclosed herein, it has been found that administration of one or more sPLA
2
inhibitors in combination with one or more niacin drugs unexpectedly results in a synergistic increase in HDL levels and a synergistic decrease in TG levels. Therefore, compositions, methods, and kits are provided for treating CVD, increasing HDL levels, decreasing TG levels, and improving HDL/LDL ratios.
