How registers could enhance knowledge and characterization of genetic dyslipidaemias: The experience of the LIPIGEN in Italy and of other networks for familial hypercholesterolemia.

TL;DR: The potential fields of research through registers are related to the deepening of the genetic basis of disease, the study of genotype-phenotype correlation, the local adaption and implementation of diagnostic algorithms, the comparison of pharmacological approaches and treatment gaps in real-life clinical practice, the evaluation of specific subpopulations, and the identification of factors modifying cardiovascular disease risk.

Trends in the use of oral anticoagulants, antiplatelets and statins in four European countries: a population-based study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated time trends in the prevalence of antithrombotic and statin use in four European countries using population-based data from the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain and Italy between 2010 and 2018.

Cost-Effectiveness of Screening Algorithms for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in Primary Care

TL;DR: FAMCAT2 was found to dominate (cheaper and more effective) cholesterol and FAMCAT1 algorithms, and extendedly dominate DLCN, and Simon Broome found the largest number of FH cases yet required 102 genetic tests to identify one FH patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

A practical approach to switch from a multiple pill therapeutic strategy to a polypill-based strategy for cardiovascular prevention in patients with hypertension.

TL;DR: This article pretends to simplify the steps that clinicians may follow to switch from any baseline regimen to the polypill with the use of several algorithms and tables showing the equivalent effective daily doses of different angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotENSin II receptor blockers and statins to facilitate switching.
Journal ArticleDOI

The power of lipid registries for cardiovascular disease prevention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized recent clinical studies based on lipid registries and found that the major reasons for insufficient therapy have been not only side effects of LLT, but poor adherence by patients to medication regimens and low use of combination therapies by physicians.

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.
