Journal ArticleDOI
Statins and COVID-19: To Suspend or Not to Suspend? That is the Question!
Filipe Ferrari,Raul D. Santos +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the association between changes in cholesterol levels and prognosis in approximately 600 patients with COVID-19, who were paired by age and sex with healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Risk and Statin Eligibility in Primary Prevention: A Comparison between the Brazilian and the AHA/ACC Guidelines
TL;DR: Compared with the AHA/ACC guideline, the Brazilian guideline classifies a larger proportion of primary prevention patients into higher-risk categories and substantially increases statin eligibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abstract 163: The Prevalence of the Metabolically Healthy Obese Phenotype in an Aging Population and its Association with Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease: The Brazilian Study on Healthy Aging

TL;DR: The results suggest that the MHO phenotype exists in the elderly; however, subclinical CVD measures were not different in sub-group analysis suggesting traditional metabolic risk factor algorithms may not be accurate in the very elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
W11.275 HDL particle size, and lipid transfer proteins in heterozygous form of familial hypercholesterolemia
Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipid transfer to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) upon triglyceride lipolysis is directly correlated with HDL-cholesterol levels and is not associated with cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of HDL to acquire phospholipid from TGRL upon LPL-mediated lipolysis is proportional to HDL-C and does not reflect cardiovascular risk.
