Print 2023 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common, inherited, life-threatening and treatable condition that is characterized by marked elevations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), resulting in a high risk of cardiovascular disease, but treatment starting in childhood dramatically reduces this risk. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of pediatric lipid assessments among children in Alberta.METHODS: We reviewed laboratory and administrative data from Alberta Health between Apr. 1, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2021.

Pravastatin for lowering lipids
CONCLUSIONS: Pravastatin lowers blood total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride in a dose-dependent linear fashion. This review did not provide a good estimate of the incidence of harms associated with pravastatin because of the lack of reporting of adverse effects in 48.4% of the randomized placebo-controlled trials.PMID:37721222 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013673.pub2

Diseases of the Coronary Microcirculation: Diagnosis and Treatment
CONCLUSION: Approximately 25% of patients with CMD have symptoms that do not respond to intensive treatment with the currently available modalities. New treatments, including interventional therapies, are being studied. Their long-term benefit remains to be assessed and compared to that of the existing methods.PMID:37721132 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2023.0205

Genetic testing for familial hypercholesterolemia in Quebec, Canada: a single-centre retrospective cohort study
CMAJ Open. 2023 Aug 22;11(4):E754-E764. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20220108. Print 2023 Jul-Aug.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is associated with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease caused by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. We determined the impact of a full next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic panel on reclassification of patients with a clinical diagnosis of FH in Quebec compared to the partial genetic panel currently offered by the Quebec Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (Ministry of Health and Social Services) (MSSS), which includes 11 variant...
