Long-Term Cardiovascular Risks and the Impact of Statin Treatment on Socioeconomic Inequalities: a Microsimulation Model
Source : https://bjgp.org/content/early/2024/02/16/BJGP.2023.0198
Background UK cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality have declined in recent decades but socioeconomic inequalities persist. Aim To present a new CVD model, and project health outcomes and the...
This study found that guideline-recommended statin treatment has good potential to reduce inequalities in health across socioeconomic status, although the reductions are larger for differences in life expectancy than for quality-adjusted life years.

Remnant Cholesterol as a New Lipid-Lowering Target to Reduce Cardiovascular Events
Current and novel therapeutic approaches to target remnant cholesterol are discussed. Recent findings A recent Mendelian randomization study of over 12 000 000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with high levels of remnant cholesterol,...
A recent Mendelian randomization study of >12 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with high levels of remnant cholesterol demonstrated a genetic association between remnant cholesterol and adverse cardiovascular events among nearly 1 million participants.

Association Between Serum Triglyceride Level and Severity of Acute Biliary Pancreatitis
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38350790/
Elevated serum TG levels were independently associated with more severe ABP. The incidence of POF, APFC, and ANC in ABP patients increased with the increase of TG levels, with a...
ABP is the most common type of AP, with an abrupt onset, rapid progression, and a tendency to develop SIRS and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

Association Between Lipid Profile in Early Pregnancy and the Risk of Congenital Heart Disease in Offspring: a Prospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53876-6
This study aimed to investigate the association of lipid profile in early pregnancy and the risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring. This study was a prospective cohort design...
The study discovered that higher TG, LDL, and Apo B levels in early pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of CHD in offspring.
