Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 26 Similarly, over one-third of ASCVD patients have hsCRP levels above 2 mg/L which indicates a higher risk of heart disease.12,27 4 In the U.S.

Epidemiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in polygenic hypercholesterolemia with or without high lipoprotein(a) levels

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background and aims Epidemiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease might be different in patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia plus high levels (≥30 mg/dl) of Lp(a) (H-Lpa) than in those with polygenic hypercholesterolemia alone (H-LDL).

Multimorbidity Patterns and In‐Hospital Outcomes in Chinese Young Women (Aged <55 Years) Presenting with ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Journal of the American Heart Association

Six multimorbidity patterns were identified, including 4 specific patterns: (1) pattern 1, cerebrovascular cluster (histories of cerebrovascular disease and hypertension); (2) pattern 2, traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors cluster (histories of hyperlipidemia, obesity, anddiabetes, and family history of cardiovascular disease and smoking); (..)
