Cardiac amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease that results from the accumulation of abnormal proteins within the heart, impairing its ability to pump blood. Over time, the build-up of these proteins causes the heart muscle to stiffen, eventually leading to heart failure, which can have dire outcomes if not found early.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3

Abstract: Colchicine reduces atherothrombotic cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease (CAD) due to its anti-inflammatory effect. The primary outcome was the percentage change in hsCRP levels at the end of four weeks. The primary outcome was the percentage change in hsCRP levels at the end of four weeks.

In the early years of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), studies indicated a heightened risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), involving outcomes such as death, Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis, and repeat revascularization.

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. An elevated Lp(a) does increase the risk of early cardiovascular disease, but that risk is not set in stone.

Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko famously rejected the objective reality of Mendelian genetics because it clashed with the Marxist philosophy that the environment, not genetics, was the primary determinant of outcomes. But what should matter is outcomes not diagnoses. Thanks for reading Dr. Anish Koka's Newsletter!

Regardless of what is driving the effect, it is clear that experiencing high levels of stress is associated with worse outcomes. 24% increased risk of coronary artery disease. While studies attempt to correct for these influences, it can be very hard to do. These findings have been replicated multiple times.

Share Let’s first state our goal when we are in the business of ‘Heart Disease Prevention’: To delay the onset of coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis/plaque) that might rupture and cause a heart attack. So, we now know that achieving fewer METs is associated with worse outcomes. Not any more.
