Conclusions: Circulating chemerin occurs in different lipoprotein subfractions, accumulating particularly in the HDL3 fraction. Statins, but not PCSK9i, lowers chemerin, possibly by interfering with its levels across lipoprotein subfractions. This may represent a novel cardiovascular protective function of statins.

Role of Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Peripheral Artery Disease - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36013107/
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial, lipoprotein-driven condition that leads to plaque formation within the arterial tree, leading to subsequent arterial stenosis and thrombosis that accounts for a large burden of cardiovascular...
Relevance: The focus of this paper is to review existing data on lipid-lowering therapies in lower extremity atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease.

Current Options and Future Perspectives in the Treatment of Dyslipidemia - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36012957/
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) plays a crucial role in the development of atherosclerosis. Statin therapy is the standard treatment for lowering LDL-C in primary and secondary prevention. However, some patients...
Conclusion: This narrative review provides an overview of the new drugs for the treatment of dyslipidemia, their current status, ongoing clinical or preclinical trials, and their prospects. We also discuss the new alternative therapies for the treatment of dyslipidemia and their relevance to practice.

Effect of Empagliflozin on Circulating Proteomics in Heart Failure: Mechanistic Insights from the EMPEROR Program - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36017745/
Changes in circulating protein levels in patients with heart failure are consistent with the findings of experimental studies that have shown that the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely related...
Conclusions: Changes in circulating protein levels in patients with heart failure are consistent with the findings of experimental studies that have shown that the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely related to actions on the heart and kidney to promote autophagic flux, nutrient deprivation signaling and transmembrane sodium transport.

JAMA Health Forum. 2022 Jul; 3(7): e221962. Stephen Y. Wang, MD, MPH, 1 Javier Valero-Elizondo, MD, MPH, 2 , 3 Miguel Cainzos-Achirica, MD, PhD, 2 , 3 Nihar R. Desai,...
Conclusions and Relevance: In this cross-sectional study of US adults, 2 in 5 families of patients with ASCVD experienced health care–related financial hardship, but a focus on objective or subjective measures alone would have captured only half the burden and not identified those deferring health care. The findings suggest that a...
