Abstract 12252: Effects of the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibitor, Evacetrapib, Administered as Monotherapy or in Combination With Statins on Cholesterol Efflux and HDL Particles in Patients With Dyslipidemia

TL;DR: In subjects with elevated LDL-C or low HDL-C, EVA alone and combined with statins increased global, ABCA1- and non-ABCA 1-mediated cholesterol efflux, accompanied by a significant increase in preβ-1 and large and very large HDL particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive volumetric assessment of aortic atheroma: a core laboratory validation using computed tomography angiography

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel means of more accurately assessing plaque volume across whole aortic segments using computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging, and provides an initial validation of cross-sectional volumetric aortsic atheroma assessment using CTA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coronary atherosclerosis in diabetic subjects: clinical significance, anatomic characteristics, and identification with in vivo imaging

TL;DR: Modem clinical imaging modalities allow the assessment of early atherosclerotic changes in coronary arteries; however, prospective evidence that atherosclerosis imaging impacts on clinical outcome is not yet available and future studies are necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the metabolic syndrome and imaging of subclinical coronary artery disease: early markers of cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: Although further evaluation of the potential role for the emerging biomarkers and imaging techniques in the setting of the metabolic syndrome is needed, it is obvious that cardiovascular nurses need to develop a heightened awareness of patients at risk for future events.
