Influence of individualized prevention recommendations after one year on the control of hypertension in 3,868 follow-up participants of the ELITE study
CONCLUSION: 56% of the hypertensive participants succeeded in lowering their blood pressure, whereas there was a significant increase in blood pressure, especially in those who were well controlled with antihypertensives. This underlines the need to further motivate normotensive patients to maintain their normotension. The results show that the combination of individual written education and lifestyle interventions are an effective tool for the public health sector to combat hypertension.

Homocysteine metabolism as the target for predictive medical approach, disease prevention, prognosis, and treatments tailored to the person
AbstractHomocysteine (Hcy) metabolism is crucial for regulating methionine availability, protein homeostasis, and DNA-methylation presenting, therefore, key pathways in post-genomic and epigenetic regulation mechanisms. Consequently, impaired Hcy metabolism leading to elevated concentrations of Hcy in the blood plasma (hyperhomocysteinemia) is linked to the overproduction of free radicals, induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial impairments, systemic inflammation and increased risks of eye disorders, coronary artery diseases, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, thrombotic events, cancer development and...

Comparing Patient Preferences for Antithrombotic Treatment During the Acute and Chronic Phases of Myocardial Infarction: A Discrete-Choice Experiment
ConclusionPatient preferences for antithrombotic treatments were unaffected by disease stage but varied by bleeding risk and other factors. This heterogeneity in preferences is an important consideration because it can affect the benefit –risk balance and the acceptability of antithrombotic treatments to patients.

PDG9 Economic Impact of Cardiovascular Benefit of Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with High Cardiovascular Risk in China
The cardiovascular (CV) benefit of once-weekly semaglutide has been proved in the CV outcome trial SUSTAIN-6, which showed that semaglutide significantly reduced the primary composite outcome (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) compared to placebo. The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of preventing adverse CV outcomes by semaglutide compared to placebo in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with high CV risk in China.
