Effective policy initiatives to constrain lipid-lowering drug expenditure growth in South Korea

TL;DR: The volume effect was found to be critical for increasing statin expenditure as the amount of statin consumed increased steadily throughout the study period, which can largely be attributed to an increase in consumption volume.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists reduced the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with statins.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated thatGLP-1RAs reduced the serum LDL-C in Japanese patients with T2DM treated with statins, and the combination of GLP- 1RAs and statins may be a reasonable therapeutic option in T2 DM with dyslipidemia.

ESC/EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias: The Task Force for the management of dyslipidaemias of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS)☆☆☆

TL;DR: These Joint ESC/European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) guidelines on the management of dyslipidaemias are complementary to the guidelines on CVD prevention in clinical practice and address not only physicians but also specialists from lipid clinics or metabolic units who are dealing with dyslipIDAemias that are more difficult to classify and treat.

Serum total cholesterol and long-term coronary heart disease mortality in different cultures. Twenty-five-year follow-up of the seven countries study

TL;DR: The large difference in absolute CHD mortality rates at a given cholesterol level, however, indicates that other factors, such as diet, that are typical for cultures with a low CHD risk are also important with respect to primary prevention.
