TL;DR: Dyslipidemia, in particular hypercholesterolemia, is a common clinical condition and represents an important determinant of atherosclerotic vascular disease and the identification of lipid disorders and the optimal combination of therapeutic strategies provide an outstanding opportunity for reducing the onset and burden of cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: These preliminary findings should be replicated in other study populations because they suggest that the accumulation of acute and subacute effects or the chronic exposure to ambient particulate and gaseous air pollution may result in the promotion of atherosclerosis, mediated, at least in part, by increased levels of Lp-PLA2.

TL;DR: There was an additive effect of anemia and disability on the occurrence of falls, blood count should be measured in disabled older men and women to identify persons, who are at particular high risk for falls.

TL;DR: The present study aimed to establish a scoring system combining triggering factors with other important but easilyobtainable clinical parameters of daily clinical practice in takotsubo syndrome patients enrolled from the InterTAK Registry.

TL;DR: Galectin-3 does not independently predict recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with established CHD after adjustment for markers of hemodynamic stress, myocardial injury, inflammation, and renal dysfunction.
