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). The median duration of follow-up was 10 years (IQR 3–16). 3.17, P  = 0.006).

A new joint guideline from the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and nine other medical societies reports early diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery disease is essential to improve outcomes and reduce amputation risk, heart attack, stroke and death for people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Introduction Statins remain the first-line treatment for secondary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events, with lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) being their therapeutic target. Recurrent stroke occurs in up to 19% of patients seven years after a first cerebrovascular event.

Specifically: - HDL cholesterol increases by 2–12 mg/dL - Total cholesterol decreases by 8 mg/dL - Triglycerides decrease by 7–13 mg/dL - LDL cholesterol may decrease by 10–13 mg/dL in adults at high cardiometabolic risk Weight and body composition Here’s where resistance exercise shines.
