Evidence-Based Cardiovascular Disease Medicines' Availability in Low-Cost Generic Drug Programs in the United States : A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: Coverage of evidence-based medications for the 6 CVDs investigated varied by LCGP and condition. Because high availability of core CVD pharmacotherapy can enhance optimal disease state management, LCGPs should identify existing limitations in their coverage and continuously revise their formularies to improve the comprehensiveness of CVD medication coverage.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: None.PMID:37665997 | DOI:10.7326/M23-0287

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 31st 2023
In conclusion, an SBP level below 130 mmHg was found to be associated with longevity among older women. The longer SBP was controlled at a level between 110 and 130 mmHg, the higher the survival probability to age 90. Preventing age-related rises in SBP and increasing the time with controlled BP levels constitute important measures for achieving longevity. « Back to Top

Disparities in Guideline-Recommended Statin Use for Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease by Race, Ethnicity, and Gender : A Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Analysis of Adults in the United States
CONCLUSION: Statin use disparities for several race-ethnicity-gender groups are not explained by measurable differences in medical appropriateness of therapy, access to health care, and socioeconomic status. These residual disparities may be partially mediated by unobserved processes that contribute to health inequity, including bias, stereotyping, and mistrust.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: National Institutes of Health.PMID:37487210 | DOI:10.7326/M23-0720

Temporal Trends and Contemporary Regional Variation in Management of Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Prior studies and societal initiatives on CEA documenting the beneficial effects of patch angioplasty, protamine use at surgery, smoking cessation, antiplatelet utilization and statin compliance have positively impacted adherence to these measures over time. In the modern 2016-2022 era the widest regional variation is noted in patch placement, protamine utilization and discharge medications allowing individual geographic areas to identify areas for potential improvement via internal VQI administrative feedback.PMID:37303024 | DOI:10.1177/15385744231183750

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...
