Cardiac Computed Tomography for Personalized Management of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

TL;DR: The use of the coronary artery calcium score as a decision aid in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus without clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease to guide the use of preventive pharmacotherapies, such as aspirin, lipid-lowering mediations, and cardiometabolic agents is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications for REDUCE IT in clinical practice

TL;DR: Addition of icosapent ethyl to statins has recently been shown to markedly lower risk of cardiovascular disease events in patients with established atherosclerotic CVD and high risk patients with type II diabetes mellitus, and this data is discussed in the context of current guidelines and synthesized in a decision pathway to guide combination lipid-lowering therapy in patients at high ASCVD risk.

The Impact of the 2019 European Guideline for Cardiovascular Risk Management: A Cross-Sectional Study in General Practice.

TL;DR: There is still a large undeveloped potential to lower CV risk by introducing conventional lipid-lowering drugs, particularly in patients at high or very high CV risk, as indicated by the 2019 ESC/EAS guideline.

Inclisiran-Silencing the Cholesterol, Speaking up the Prognosis.

TL;DR: Inclisiran as mentioned in this paper is a disruptive, first-in-class small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based therapeutic developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) synthesis, thereby upregulating the number of LDL receptors on the hepatocytes, thus lowering the plasma LDL-C concentration.

LDL-Cholesterol-Lowering Therapy.

TL;DR: The causal relation between elevated levels of LDL-C and cardiovascular disease has been largely established by experimental and clinical studies and the need to develop additional lipid-lowering drugs to be used in combination with or in alternative to statins in patients intolerant to the treatment is raised.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

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.
