What are the benefits and drawbacks of statins in carotid artery disease? A perspective review
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Nov 21:1-15. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2286011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The prevalence of carotid artery stenosis in the general population is approximately 3%, but approximately 20% among people with acute ischemic stroke. Statins are recommended by multiple international guidelines as the drug of choice for lipid control in people with asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid artery stenosis due to their lipid-lowering and other pleiotropic effects.AREAS COVERED: This review discusses the guidelines for statin usage as a cornerstone in the prevention and management of athe...

PCSK9 inhibitors: current status and emerging frontiers in lipid control
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Nov 23. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2288169. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a leading cause of global mortality, imposing substantial healthcare economic burdens. Among the modifiable risk factors, hypercholesterolemia, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), plays a pivotal role in ASCVD development. Novel therapies such as PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9) inhibitors are emerging to address this concern. These inhibitors offer the potential to reduce cardiovascular risk by directly t...

Contemporary applications of multimodality imaging in infective endocarditis
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Nov 23. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2288152. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an increasingly important condition with significant morbidity and mortality. With advancements in cardiovascular interventions including prosthetic valve implantation and utilization of intracardiac devices, the prevalence of IE is rising in the modern era. Early detection and management of this condition is critical.AREAS COVERED: This review presents a contemporary review of the applications of multi-modality imaging in IE, taking a comparative approach of the various im...

Insight into tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: no longer the forgotten valve
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Nov 20:1-9. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2286010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is one of the most prevalent types of valvular heart disease linked to poor prognosis in patients with heart failure and is usually ignored. TR has received considerable attention due to the progressive advancements in transcatheter therapies in recent years.AREAS COVERED: With relatively solid data and rapid technological advancements, tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is the most frequently employed in a series of tricuspid transcatheter interventiona...

Clinical challenges facing patient participation in cardiac rehabilitation: cigarette smoking
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Nov 8. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2282026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is highly effective at reducing morbidity and mortality. However, CR is underutilized, and adherence remains challenging. In no group is CR attendance more challenging than among patients who smoke. Despite being more likely to be referred to CR they are less likely to enroll, and much more likely to drop out. CR programs generally do not optimally engage and treat those who smoke, but this population is critical to engage given the high-risk nature of continued smoking in thos...
