Atherosclerosis as a Risk Factor for IBD: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
CONCLUSIONS: A history of an atherosclerotic-related condition is associated with increased odds of developing IBD, particularly among older adults. Future studies should investigate whether drugs targeting atherosclerotic-related inflammation may prevent IBD in higher-risk individuals.PMID:37721310 | DOI:10.14309/ajg.0000000000002502

Fixed dose combination therapies in primary cardiovascular disease prevention in different groups: an individual participant meta-analysis
Conclusions In participants with intermediate cardiovascular risk, FDCs produce larger cardiovascular benefits in older individuals, which appear greater with aspirin. Trial registration number HOPE-3, NCT00468923; TIPS-3, NCT016464137; PolyIran, NCT01271985.

One Pill for Everyone? Twenty Years of Polypill for Cardiovascular Disease
The concept of the polypill was first proposed in 2003 as a strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk by combining multiple therapeutic agents into a single daily pill. Wald and Law estimated that a combination of a statin, thiazide diuretic, β blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, folic acid, and aspirin could reduce ischemic heart disease events and stroke by 88% and 80%, respectively.1 Because rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain high worldwide, the polypill or fixed dose combination strategy is viewed as a potential method to reduce barriers to adequate medical care.

Investigation of Combined Carotid Endarterectomy and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Outcomes and Adverse Event Risk Factors in the Vascular Quality Initiative
CONCLUSIONS: Combined CEA and CABG provides excellent long-term mortality prevention in patients with co-existing severe coronary and carotid atherosclerosis. Simultaneous CEA and CABG provides equivalent stroke prevention and long-term survival to both a cohort of patients undergoing coronary revascularization within 5 years of CEA and patients undergoing isolated CEA or CABG in the literature. The two most impactful modifiable risk factors towards long-term stroke and mortality prevention for patients undergoing simultaneous CEA-CABG are patch placement at CEA site and adherence to statin medication therapy.PMID:37303074...

Young Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy Have Increased Rates of Recurrent Disease and Late Neurologic Events
CONCLUSIONS: Young patients undergoing CEA are more likely to be African American, female, and active smokers. They are more likely to present symptomatically and undergo non-elective CEA. Although perioperative outcomes are similar, younger patients are more likely to experience carotid occlusion or restenosis as well as subsequent neurological events, during relatively short follow-up. These data suggest that younger CEA patients may require more diligent follow-up, and a continued aggressive approach to medical management of atherosclerosis to prevent future events related to the operated artery, given the particularly ...

Gender differences in cardiovascular risk, treatment, and outcomes: a post hoc analysis from the REWIND trial
Conclusions. In REWIND, most women met clinically relevant treatment targets, but in lower proportions than men. Women had a lower risk for all cardiovascular outcomes except stroke. Clinical trials.gov registration number: NCT01394952.PMID:36723445 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2023.2166101

Rationale and design of a randomised double-blind 2 ×2 factorial trial comparing the effect of a 3-month intensive statin and antiplatelet therapy for patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA with intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis (INSPIRES)
CONCLUSION: The INSPIRES trial will assess the efficacy and safety of intensive antiplatelet therapy and immediate intensive statin therapy begun within 72 hours of onset in decreasing the recurrent stroke at 90 days in patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA of intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis origin.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03635749.PMID:36707080 | DOI:10.1136/svn-2022-002084

Prognostic Implication of Small Dense LDL-Cholesterol Levels following Acute Coronary Syndrome

Predictive values of coronary artery calcium and arterial stiffness for long-term cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease
CONCLUSIONS: A CAC score ≥100 or a CAVI ≥ 9.0 predicts the long-term occurrence of MACEs in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with stable CAD. These two noninvasive tests can be used as screening tools to guide treatment for the prevention of future CV events.PMID:36448219 | DOI:10.1002/clc.23955

Pharmacogenomics in Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease: State of the Art
Stroke. 2022 Nov 3. doi: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.122.037717. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is considerable interindividual variability in the response to antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies, and this variation may be attributable to genetic variants. There has been an increased understanding of the genetic architecture of stroke and cardiovascular disease, which has been driven by advancements in genomic technologies and this has raised the possibility of more targeted pharmaceutical treatments. Pharmacogenetics promises to use a patient's genetic profile to treat those who are more likely to benefit from a particular...
