The 2013 cholesterol guideline controversy: Would better evidence prevent pharmaceuticalization?

Lynn Unruh, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: The recommendation in the 2013 cholesterol guidelines to initiate statins in individuals with a lower risk of CVD is controversial and there is much disagreement on whether there is evidence for the guideline change.

Systematic literature review and meta-analysis of dual therapy with fenofibrate or fenofibric acid and a statin versus a double or equivalent dose of statin monotherapy

Mario Ouwens, +3 more
- 05 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: There is a need for long-term randomized clinical trials to compare dual therapy versus doubling the statin dose to assess the importance of improvement in HDL-C and triglycerides versus improvement in LDL-C in terms of cardiovascular outcomes.

A comparison between statin with ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy in STEMI patients who underwent successful PCI with drug-eluting stents.

Yong Hoon Kim, +11 more
- 01 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: The combination of statin with ACEI may be the preferred treatment strategy to reduce mortality rates in STEMI patients after successful percutaneous coronary intervention with DES rather thanstatin with ARB in this study during a 2-year follow-up period.

Control Status of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Japanese High-Risk Subjects:Analyses of a Japanese Health Check Database from 2008 to 2011.

Koji Hasegawa, +14 more
- 01 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: TL-attainment rates of BP and LDL-C were not as high as those for HDL-C, TGs, and HbA1c; however, they both showed highly significant improvements during the study period.

Switching to Pitavastatin in Statin-Treated Low HDL-C Patients Further Improves the Lipid Profile and Attenuates Minute Myocardial Damage

Chikao Ibuki, +6 more
- 10 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: MMD (positive hsTnT) was observed in more than half of patients with low HDL-C despite the administration of any statin, and the replacement of their previous statin with pitavastatin further improved their lipid profiles and led to better myocardial protection, possibly mediated via the elevation of the HDL- C level.

Carotid-Artery Intima and Media Thickness as a Risk Factor for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in Older Adults

Daniel H. O'Leary, +5 more
- 07 Jan 1999 - 
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, +17 more
- 01 Jul 2011 - 
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, +9 more
- 12 Jul 1995 - 
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.
