Socioeconomic characteristics of those with peripheral artery disease in the chronic renal insufficiency cohort
CONCLUSIONS: In this prospectively followed CKD cohort, lower annual household income and Black race were significantly associated with increased PAD at study enrollment. In contrast, educational level was not associated with PAD when adjusted for patient income data. Black race, female gender, and low income were independently associated with decreased statin use, populations which could be targets of future public health programs.PMID:35343329 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211053492

Is the use of high-intensity atorvastatin associated with memory impairment?
Indian Heart J. 2021 Dec 18:S0019-4832(21)00457-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2021.12.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigh-intensity statins are the cornerstone of medical management in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). However, its effect on neurocognition is less clear. In this prospective observational study, we gave guideline-directed high-intensity atorvastatin 40 mg to middle-aged statin naïve ACS patients. Memory assessments were performed before and 6months after statin therapy using 2 validated scales-the Post-Graduate Institute Memory Scale (PGI-MS), and the Logical Memory Passage Test (LMPT). There was no significant d...
