Cardiovascular risk assessment: The foundation of preventive cardiology.

TL;DR: While current techniques best predict long-term risk of CVD events, biomarkers strategies are being developed to predict near-term events, and other imaging techniques such as coronary CT angiography and vascular MRI hold promise to identify vulnerable plaque.

Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level cannot be too Low: Considerations from Clinical Trials, Human Genetics, and Biology.

TL;DR: The idea that the authors need to rethink what is the optimal range of LDL cholesterol level, instead of “normal” or “average” range is provided, based on a series of evidence from clinical trials, human genetics, and biology.

Cost-effectiveness of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition with evolocumab in patients with a history of myocardial infarction in Sweden

TL;DR: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition with evolocumab added to maximum tolerated dose of statin and ezetimibe may be considered cost-effective at its list price for minimum LDL-C levels, with ICERs below the accepted willingness-to-pay threshold in Sweden.

Beyond Lipid-Lowering: Effects of Statins on Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases and Cancer

TL;DR: A review of the effect of statins on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer is presented in this paper , focusing on the aspect of "beyond lipid-lowering".
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-HDL-C/TG ratio indicates significant underestimation of calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) better than TG level: a study on the reliability of mathematical formulas used for LDL-C estimation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the measured LDL-C with LDL-Cs as calculated by the Friedewald, Martin/Hopkins, Vujovic, and Sampson formulas with regard to triglyceride (TG), LDL-c and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)/TG ratio.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Atherosclerosis is an Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Despite changes in lifestyle and the use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations, cardiovascular disease continues to be the principal cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia.

Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes

TL;DR: These standards of care are intended to provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payors, and other interested individuals with the components of diabetes care, treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care.
