Biomarker Prediction of Complex Coronary Revascularization Procedures in the FOURIER Trial

Biomarker Prediction of Complex Coronary Revascularization Procedures in the FOURIER Trial

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0735109722054225?via=ihub

Biomarkers are known to predict major adverse cardiovascular events. However, the association of biomarkers with complex procedures or high-risk coronary anatomy at the time of coronary revascularization revascularization is not...

Conclusions: A biomarker-based strategy identifies stable patients at risk for coronary events, including coronary artery bypass graft surgery and complex percutaneous coronary intervention, and predicts high-risk coronary anatomy at the time of revascularization. These findings provide insight into the relationships between cardiovascular...

Impact of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on liver steatosis/fibrosis/inflammation and redox balance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Impact of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on liver steatosis/fibrosis/inflammation and redox balance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331534/

Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I) are the most recently approved drugs for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recent clinical trials of these compounds reported beneficial cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes. A...


Conclusion/Relevance: This result indicate a significant association between the use of evolocumab and a reduction in the incidence of CI-AKI.The logistic regression analysis results revealed that evolocumab was significantly associated with CI-AKI. The use of PCSK9 inhibitors, hydration therapy, and statin administration appears promising for...

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.

Current Options and Future Perspectives in the Treatment of Dyslipidemia - PubMed

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.
