Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the efficacy and safety of statin and statin/ezetimibe therapy after coronary stent implantation in patients with stable angina.
Tadaaki Arimura,Shin-ichiro Miura,Amane Ike,Makoto Sugihara,Atsushi Iwata,Hiroaki Nishikawa,Akira Kawamura,Keijiro Saku +7 more
TL;DR: Although statin/ezetimibe therapy was effective and safe for intensive lipid-lowering in patients with stable angina after successful coronary stent implantation, improvement in clinical outcomes with the combination therapy remains unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of EPA in Inflammation: Mechanisms, Effects, and Clinical Relevance
TL;DR: An overview of the links between inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors is provided, importantly focusing on the role of diet, in particular examining the proposed role of EPA as well as the success or failure of standard pharmacological therapy for cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of risk factors for atherosclerosis, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, with carotid intima-media thickness, plaque score, and pulse wave velocity in a male population.
Satoko Ojima,Takuro Kubozono,Shin Kawasoe,Takeko Kawabata,Masaaki Miyata,Hironori Miyahara,Shigeho Maenohara,Mitsuru Ohishi +7 more
TL;DR: IMT, PS, and baPWV were all associated with different risk factors among male Japanese participants including obesity, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, dyslipidemia, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between vitamin B group supplementation with changes in % flow-mediated dilatation and plasma homocysteine levels: a randomized controlled trial.
Koutatsu Maruyama,Ehab S. Eshak,Ehab S. Eshak,Minako Kinuta,Masanori Nagao,Renzhe Cui,Hironori Imano,Tetsuya Ohira,Hiroyasu Iso +8 more
TL;DR: Low-dose multivitamin supplementation including B vitamins is associated with a significant reduction in plasma homocysteine levels among patients with one or more components of metabolic syndrome, and a significant increase in serum B vitamins and vitamin C levels was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Body Mass Index with the Incidence of Dyslipidemia among Japanese Women: A Cohort Study.
TL;DR: It is suggested that CRF and BMI are interdependent and, together, they affect the incidence of dyslipidemia among Japanese women.

Carotid-Artery Intima and Media Thickness as a Risk Factor for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in Older Adults
Daniel H. O'Leary,Joseph F. Polak,Richard A. Kronmal,Teri A. Manolio,Gregory L. Burke,Sidney K. Wolfson +5 more
TL;DR: Increases in the thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery, as measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, are directly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without a history of cardiovascular disease.

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)☆☆☆
Alberico L. Catapano,Zeljko Reiner,Guy De Backer,Ian D. Graham,Marja-Riitta Taskinen,Olov Wiklund,Stefan Agewall,Eduardo Alegria,M. John Chapman,Paul N. Durrington,Serap Erdine,Julian Halcox,Richard J. Hobbs,John Kjekshus,Pasquale Perrone Filardi,Gabriele Riccardi,Robert F. Storey,David R. Wood +17 more
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
W M Verschuren,David R. Jacobs,Bennie P. M. Bloemberg,Daan Kromhout,Alessandro Menotti,Christ Aravanis,Henry Blackburn,Ratko Buzina,Anastasios Dontas,Flaminio Fidanza +9 more
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.
