Prevention of coronary and stroke events with atorvastatin in hypertensive patients who have average or lower-than-average cholesterol concentrations, in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial—Lipid Lowering Arm (ASCOT-LLA): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
Peter S. Sever,Björn Dahlöf,Neil R Poulter,Hans Wedel,Gareth Beevers,Mark J. Caulfield,Rory Collins,Sverre E. Kjeldsen,Arni Kristinsson,Gordon T. McInnes,Jesper Mehlsen,Markku S. Nieminen,Eoin O'Brien,Jan Östergren +13 more
TL;DR: The reductions in major cardiovascular events with atorvastatin are large, given the short follow-up time, and may have implications for future lipid-lowering guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of cardiovascular events with an antihypertensive regimen of amlodipine adding perindopril as required versus atenolol adding bendroflumethiazide as required, in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial-Blood Pressure Lowering Arm (ASCOT-BPLA): a multicentre randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The amlodipine-based regimen prevented more major cardiovascular events and induced less diabetes than the atenolol- based regimen, and these effects might not be entirely explained by better control of blood pressure.

TL;DR: The historical background, the advantages and limitations of ABPM, the threshold levels for practice, and the cost-effectiveness of the technique are considered, while the role ofABPM in research circumstances, such as pharmacological trials and in the prediction of outcome in epidemiological studies is examined.

JBS 2: Joint British Societies' guidelines on prevention of cardiovascular disease in clinical practice
Diabetes Uk,Heart Uk +1 more
TL;DR: The Joint British Societies’ guidelines (JBS 2) on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice were developed by a Working Party with nominated representatives from six professional societies to promote a consistent multidisciplinary approach to the management of people with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and those at high risk of developing symptomatic atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

TL;DR: The most effective therapy prescribed by the most careful clinician will control hypertension only if patients are motivated, and empathy builds trust and is a potent motivator.

Risks and benefits of estrogen plus progestin in healthy postmenopausal women: Principal results from the Women's Health Initiative randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: Overall health risks exceeded benefits from use of combined estrogen plus progestin for an average 5.2-year follow-up among healthy postmenopausal US women, and the results indicate that this regimen should not be initiated or continued for primary prevention of CHD.
