Effect of Supplementation With Probiotics or Synbiotics on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10801034/
The effectiveness of probiotics or synbiotics in adults with metabolic syndromes (MetS) remains controversial, this meta-analysis will further analyze the effects of probiotics or synbiotics on cardiovascular factors in adults...
Supplementation with probiotics or synbiotics can reduce BMI, LDL-C, and fasting blood glucose in patients with metabolic syndrome, but the findings did not demonstrate a favorable effect on reducing systolic blood pressure.

Competing Genetic Traits and Their Influence on LDL Cholesterol Concentration in Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10801839/
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a monogenic disorder that leads to premature atherosclerosis as a result of lifelong exposure to elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Both genetic traits and lifestyle factors can...
Patients with a family history of hypercholesterolemia and significantly elevated LDL-C without other major comorbidities can be evaluated with genetics to further elucidate their overall CV risk profile and alter management.

Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Predicts Cardiovascular Death in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: a 7-Year Prospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10785463/
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the leading cause of death among maintenance hemodialysis patients, with dyslipidemia being a prevalent complication. The paradoxical relationship between cardiovascular outcomes and established lipid risk markers,...
In this study, when stratified by median values or when assessed as a continuous variable, elevated Lp-PLA2 activity is consistently associated with an increased risk of CV mortality and the occurrence of MACEs.
