Protective Effects of Different Classes, Intensity, Cumulative Dose-Dependent of Statins Against Primary Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2023 Jul 29. doi: 10.1007/s11883-023-01135-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of different statin classes, intensity, and cumulative dose-dependent against primary ischemic stroke in patients with T2DM.RECENT FINDINGS: The Cox hazards model was used to evaluate statin use on primary ischemic stroke. Case group: T2DM patients who received statins; control group: T2DM patients who received no statins during the follow-up. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for primary ischemic stroke was 0.45 (95% CI: 0.44 to 0.46). Cox regression ...

Study Protocol and Baseline Characteristics of Randomized Trial for Evaluating Secondary Prevention Efficacy of Combination Therapy-Statin and Eicosapentaenoic Acid: RESPECT-EPA, The Combination of a Randomized Control Trial and an Observational Biomarker Study
CONCLUSIONS: After this study is completed, we will have further evidence on whether a highly purified EPA is effective in reducing cardiovascular events for secondary prevention or not, as well as whether if EPA/AA ratio is a predictor for future cardiovascular events.PMID:36372250 | DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2022.11.008

Implementation of Oral Anticoagulation Treatment Guidelines in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Despite the increasing OAC treatment rates among high risk AF patients, mainly attributed to the expanding DOAC use, OAC treatment scope is still far from optimal.PMID:33982796 | DOI:10.1111/bcp.14899

Temporal changes in treatments and outcomes after acute myocardial infarction among cancer survivors and patients without cancer, 1995 to 2013
CONCLUSIONSAmong CS and NCP with AMI in Ontario, similar improvements in mortality and receipt of treatments were observed between 1995 and 2013. However, compared with NCP, CS had a higher risk of mortality and heart failure. Cancer 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Combined renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade and statin therapy effectively reduces the risk of cerebrovascular accident in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
In conclusion, ADPKD was associated with an increased risk of CVA occurrence. Combined RAAS blockade and statin therapy effectively reduces the risk of CVA in ADPKD. PMID: 28711910 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
