Current trends in non–HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The changes in LDL-C and non-HDL-C in patients with ASCVD over a 17-year period probably are related to increased treatment with statins, but the changes are too small to be explained by widespread use of high-intensity statins.

Current Data Regarding the Relationship between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Risk Factors.

TL;DR: A profound understanding of intimate mechanisms that generate atherosclerosis in DM and ways to inhibit or delay them are of the utmost importance in a society where cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are predominant.

Cholesterol in LDL receptor recycling and degradation

TL;DR: It is proposed that a balance between LDLR endocytosis recycling and PCSK9-mediated and IDOL-mediated lysosomal LDLR degradation is responsible for cholesterol homeostasis in the ER.

Lifelong Aspirin for All in the Secondary Prevention of Chronic Coronary Syndrome: Still Sacrosanct or Is Reappraisal Warranted?

TL;DR: The totality of recent evidence supports the universal need for lifelong aspirin in secondary prevention for all adults with CCS, particularly in stable older patients who are at highest risk for aspirin-induced bleeding.

Secular Trends in Risk Profiles Among Adults With Cardiovascular Disease in the United States.

TL;DR: In this article , a serial cross-sectional analysis of 6,335 adults with self-reported CVD participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 through 2018, calculated age and sex-adjusted proportions with ideal risk factor attainment.

Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge

TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.

Implications of Recent Clinical Trials for the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines

TL;DR: The trials confirm the benefit of cholesterol-lowering therapy in high-risk patients and support the ATP III treatment goal of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100 mg/dL, and confirm that older persons benefit from therapeutic lowering of LDL-C.

TL;DR: Adding simvastatin to existing treatments safely produces substantial additional benefits for a wide range of high-risk patients, irrespective of their initial cholesterol concentrations.

Efficacy and safety of more intensive lowering of LDL cholesterol: a meta-analysis of data from 170,000 participants in 26 randomised trials.

TL;DR: Further reductions in LDL cholesterol safely produce definite further reductions in the incidence of heart attack, of revascularisation, and of ischaemic stroke, with each 1·0 mmol/L reduction reducing the annual rate of these major vascular events by just over a fifth.
