Screening and Management of Dyslipidemia in Children and Adolescents - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36362707/

This review provides an overview of pediatric dyslipidemia emphasizing screening and treatment recommendations. The presence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in childhood poses significant risk for the development of...



Conclusion/Relevance: Treatment of pediatric dyslipidemia begins with lifestyle modifications, but primary genetic dyslipidemias may require medications such as statins. As pediatric lipid disorders often have genetic or familial components, it is important that all physicians are aware that cardiovascular risk begins in childhood, and can both...

Simulation of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) intensification in very high-risk patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Simulation of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) intensification in very high-risk patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Source : https://www.lipidjournal.com/article/S1933-2874(22)00286-0/fulltext

In a previous study, we used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the proportion of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who would require various lipid-lowering therapies (LLTs), and...



Conclusions: Evinacumab may be useful to address such unmet needs effectively, as the majority of those not at goal after PCSK9 inhibitors could achieve the goal of

Atherogenic Lipoproteins for the Statin Residual Cardiovascular Disease Risk - PubMed

Atherogenic Lipoproteins for the Statin Residual Cardiovascular Disease Risk - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36362288/

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) show that decreases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by the use of statins cause a significant reduction in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, one...



Conclusions/Relevance: MDA-LDL is a representative form of oxidized LDL and plays important roles in the formation and development of the primary lesions of atherosclerosis. MDA-LDL levels were higher in CVD patients and diabetic patients than in the control subjects. Furthermore, we demonstrated the atherogenic properties of such lipoproteins...

ANGPTL3 as a Drug Target in Hyperlipidemia and Atherosclerosis - Current Atherosclerosis Reports

ANGPTL3 as a Drug Target in Hyperlipidemia and Atherosclerosis - Current Atherosclerosis Reports

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11883-022-01071-1

Purpose of Review Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) or remnants are important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The ongoing challenge of...



Summary: ANGPTL3 is a novel target in lipoprotein metabolism, targeting not only LDL-C via an LDL-receptor (LDLR) independent mechanism but also TRLs and carries a significant promise for further ASCVD risk reduction.

Remnant cholesterol and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Metabolism, mechanism, evidence, and treatment

Remnant cholesterol and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Metabolism, mechanism, evidence, and treatment

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcvm.2022.913869/full

This review aimed to summarize the evidence of elevated remnant cholesterol and the risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and to search for further guidance in clinical therapy. The lipids-lowering...



Conclusions/Relevance: The use of statins, fibrates, APOC3 inhibitors, PCSK9 inhibitors, and omega-3 fatty acids to reduce RC levels in the plasma may provide long-term benefits. However, the standardized detection of RC was still controversial, and more studies on appropriate treatments of elevated RC are urgently needed. These positive trials...
