TL;DR: Fasting serum vitamin D was positively correlated with age, HDLC, and White race, and was inversely correlated with BMI, total and LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and fasting serum homocysteine, and a significant independent positive determinant of HDLC.

TL;DR: Vitamin D3 therapy (50,000-100,000 IU/week) was safe and effective when given for 12 months to reverse statin intolerance in patients with vitamin D deficiency, and there was no significant change in serum calcium or eGFR.

TL;DR: If 30 % of patients with high LDLC and HeFH-CVD are eligible for PCSK9 inhibitors, then specialty pharmaceutical pricing models will collide with tens of millions of HeFH and CVD patients.

TL;DR: In 153 patients with premature CVD ≤ age 45, thrombophilia was pervasive (high factor VIII, homocysteine, ACLA IgM, low free protein S, high Lp(a), and lupus anticoagulant), evidencing throm botic contribution to premature CVC.

TL;DR: Idiopathic ON, often caused by thrombophilia-hypofibrinolysis, is worsened by TT, and its progression may be slowed or stopped by discontinuation of TT and, thereafter, anticoagulation.
