Patterns and Gaps in Guideline-Directed Statin Use for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease by Race and Ethnicity
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38525197/
In patients with incident ASCVD, we describe suboptimal and heterogenous 1-year post-ASCVD guideline-directed statin use and 1-year post-ASCVD LDL-c control across disaggregated race and ethnicity groups. Findings may improve understanding...
Disaggregation of race/ethnicity groups uncovered suboptimal and heterogenous use of statins and achievement of LDL-C control after ASCVD events.

Lipoprotein(a) is a Prevalent yet Vastly Underrecognized Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease
Lipoprotein(a) testing is essential for comprehensive CVD risk evaluation and is indicated in those with a personal or family history of premature CVD, if not all individuals.

Detailed Lipid Profiles and Lipid-Related Residual Risk After 12-Week 10 mg Rosuvastatin Treatment for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Source : https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/internalmedicine/advpub/0/advpub_3476-24/_article
Objective We aimed to reveal detailed on-treatment lipid profiles, lipid-related surrogate markers, and factors predicting failure to achieve the guid ...
More than one-half of the patients treated with rosuvastatin 10 mg/day with acute MI did not achieve the guideline-recommended goal of lipid management and still had lipid-related residual risk at 12 weeks.

Alcohol Consumption, High-Density Lipoprotein Particles and Subspecies, and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Findings From the PREVEND Prospective Study
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/4/2290
The associations of HDL particle (HDL-P) and subspecies concentrations with alcohol consumption are unclear. We aimed to evaluate the interplay between alcohol consumption, HDL parameters and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk....
Moderate alcohol consumption appears to beneficially influence levels of HDL-C, HDL-P, and other HDL parameters and is associated with a reduced risk of CVD.
