The Agatston Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Statin Users: Recent Insights from the CAC Consortium and Pathways Forward - American College of Cardiology
Background The coronary artery calcium (CAC) burden as reported with the Agatston score 1 is strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. 2-6 CAC scoring using the Agatston method...

Association between baseline serum uric acid and development of LDL-C level in patients with first acute myocardial infarction - BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Source : https://bmccardiovascdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12872-021-02383-x
Background Data on the relationship of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) with development of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level in patients with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are limited. The...
Conclusion: "Among Chinese patients with first AMI, higher baseline SUA was associated with higher LDL-C deduction percentage (%), and higher rate of LDL-C control in the short-term follow-up, respectively. SUA acquired when AMI occurred was prone to be profitable in predicting the risk stratification of uncontrolled LDL-C and dyslipidemia...

Association Between Lipid Trajectories During Pregnancy and Risk of Postpartum Glucose Intolerance After Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cohort Study
Source : https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1118681/v1
This is a preprint, a preliminary version of a manuscript that has not completed peer review at a journal. Research Square does not conduct peer review prior to posting preprints....
Conclusions: The high trajectory of LDL-C during pregnancy may play a protective role on postpartum glucose intolerance in women with GDM. Further studies are warranted to explore the underlying mechanism.
Share
Conclusion: "LDL-C testing is recommended for patients with a history of ASCVD and may be a high-value and low-cost intervention to improve adherence and statin management."

Prognostic Significance of Visit-To-Visit Variability, Maximum and Minimum LDL Cholesterol in Diabetes Mellitus
Source : https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1102811/v1
BACKGROUND Current guidelines for dyslipidemia management recommended that the LDL_C goal could be lower to less than 70 mg/dL. The present study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the...
Conclusions: Visit-to-visit variability in LDL_C was a strong predictor of outcomes, independent of mean LDL_C. Patients with LDL_C be controlled to less than 70 mg/dl at least once during follow-up might have a benign prognosis.
