Plain language summary of results from ORION-10 and ORION-11: Two studies to learn how well inclisiran works in people with high cholesterol
Future Cardiol. 2023 Jun 6. doi: 10.2217/fca-2022-0133. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWHAT IS THIS PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ABOUT?: This is a summary of the article describing the results of the ORION-10 and ORION-11 studies, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April 2020. The studies included adult participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ASCVD happens when the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to other areas of the body are blocked by fatty build-up (plaque) causing a heart attack, stroke, or other problems. High levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (L...

Long-Term Evolocumab in Patients with Established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term LDL-C lowering with evolocumab was associated with persistently low rates of adverse events for over >8 years that did not exceed those observed in the original placebo arm during the parent study and led to further reductions in cardiovascular events compared with delayed treatment initiation.PMID:36031810 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061620

Arterial Atherosclerosis: Vascular Surgery Interventions
Am Fam Physician. 2022 Jan 1;105(1):65-72.ABSTRACTAtherosclerotic vascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid or intracranial arteries causes up to 15% of strokes. Peripheral artery disease affects up to one in five people in the United States who are 60 years and older and nearly one-half of those who are 85 years and older. Renal artery stenosis may affect up to 5% of people with isolated hypertension and up to 40% of people with other atherosclerotic diseases. All patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should receive a comprehensive program of guidelin...

The Projected Impact of Population-Wide Achievement of LDL Cholesterol & lt;70 mg/dL on the Number of Recurrent Events Among US Adults with ASCVD
ConclusionA substantial number of recurrent ASCVD events could be averted over 10 years if all US adults with ASCVD achieved, and maintained, an LDL-C<70 mg/dL.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids for the Management of Hypertriglyceridemia: A Science Advisory From the American Heart Association.
ular Biology; Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health; Council on Cardiovascular Disease in the Young; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; and Council on Clinical Cardiology Abstract Hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides 200-499 mg/dL) is relatively common in the United States, whereas more severe triglyceride elevations (very high triglycerides, ≥500 mg/dL) are far less frequently observed. Both are becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States and elsewhere, likely driven in large part by growing rates of obesity and diabetes mellitus. In a 2002 American Heart Association scientific stat...

Effect of high-dose oral multivitamins and minerals in participants not treated with statins in the randomized Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT)
Conclusion and relevance High-dose oral multivitamin and multimineral supplementation seem to decrease combined cardiac events in a stable, post-MI population not taking statin therapy at baseline. These unexpected findings are being retested in the ongoing TACT2.

Abstract 243: A Novel Cost Effectiveness Model of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) for Secondary Prevention in the United States Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: This novel model suggests that combining EPA with statin therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in the United States may be cost-saving and appears to be a more compelling intervention than statin monotherapy. The framework of this model provides a starting point for development of microsimulation models as more data become available.
