Evolocumab + statin therapy could significantly improve physiological function of coronary arteries, downregulate re-hospitalization rate of STEMI pts with NIRA

Conclusion: Evolocumab combined with statin therapy can significantly improve the anatomical and physiological function of the coronary arteries and downregulate the re-hospitalization rate due to UA in STEMI patients with NIRA.

Both LDL and HDL particle concentrations associate positively with an increased risk of developing microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes: lost protection by HDL (Zodiac-63) - Cardiovascular Diabetology

Both LDL and HDL particle concentrations associate positively with an increased risk of developing microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes: lost protection by HDL (Zodiac-63) - Cardiovascular Diabetology

Background Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are associated positively whereas high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are associated inversely with the development of new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here we studied...

Conclusions: Total lipoprotein particle concentrations of both LDL and HDL associate positively with an increased risk of developing microvascular complications in T2D. We propose that the protective role of HDL on the development of microvascular complications may be lost in established T2D.

Smoking and diabetes attenuate beneficial effects of PSCK9 inhibitors on arterial wall properties in patients with very high lipoprotein (a) levels

Smoking and diabetes attenuate beneficial effects of PSCK9 inhibitors on arterial wall properties in patients with very high lipoprotein (a) levels

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667089522000207?via=ihub

Elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (LDL-C) are significant residual risk factors for cardiovascular event...

Conclusion: These data show that for patients with CAD and high Lp(a) levels, beneficial effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on the arterial wall properties can be attenuated by specific risk factors, such as smoking and diabetes.

Results: The ASCVD-risk group had significantly higher mean platelet volume (MPV), which was associated with the presence of the risk. Furthermore, hs-CRPs show a significant correlation with MPV in a correlation analysis of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with hematological parameters. Thus, using these affordable, routinely...
