Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeart failure (HF) is emerging as a major public health problem both in high- and low - income countries. The mortality and morbidity due to HF is substantially higher in low-middle income countries (LMICs). Accessibility, availability and affordability issues affect the guideline directed therapy implementation in HF care in those countries. This call to action urges all those concerned to initiate preventive strategies as early as possible, so that we can reduce HF-related morbidity and mortality. The most imp...

Relationship between high sensitivity troponin I and clinical outcomes in non-acute coronary syndrome (non-ACS) acute heart failure patients - a one-year follow-up study
CONCLUSION: High-sensitivity troponin I is a valuable biomarker that can predict in-hospital mortality and long-term follow-up outcomes in patients with acute heart failure. It plays a crucial role in developing improved strategies for heart failure surveillance and management in the community.PMID:38599282 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2024.04.003 (Source: Indian Heart J)

Pediatric hyperlipidemia
This article emphasizes the diagnosis and management of pediatric hyperlipidemia with reference to the recent guidelines. In terms of etiology pediatric hyperlipidemia are divided into primary and secondary causes. The mainstay of management includes high-risk target screening, early risk factor identification and lifestyle modifications in vulnerable population. Drug therapy is recommended in primary hyperlipidemia and in children with no response to lifestyle changes.PMID:38599724 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2023.11.269 (Source: Indian Heart J)

Familial hypercholesterolemia
Indian Heart J. 2024 Mar;76 Suppl 1:S108-S112. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.002. Epub 2024 Apr 8.ABSTRACTFamilial hypercholesterolemia is a common genetic disorder of autosomal inheritance associated with elevated LDL-cholesterol. It is estimated to affect 1:250 individuals in general population roughly estimated to be 5 million in India. The prevalence of FH is higher in young CAD patients (<55 years in men; <60 years in women). FH is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Screening during childhood and Cascade screening of family members of known FH patients is of utmost importance in order to prevent the burden of CAD. Ea...

Apolipoprotein B - An ideal biomarker for atherosclerosis?
Indian Heart J. 2024 Mar;76 Suppl 1:S121-S129. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.12.001. Epub 2024 Apr 8.ABSTRACTThis review article describes the pathophysiological mechanisms linking Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) and atherosclerosis, summarizes the existing evidence on Apo B as a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and recommendations of (inter)national treatment guidelines regarding Apo B in dyslipidemia management. A single Apo B molecule is present in every particle of very low-density lipoprotein, intermediate density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, and lipoprotein(a). This unique single Apo B per particle rat...

Role of statins in the management of dyslipidaemia
Indian Heart J. 2024 Mar;76 Suppl 1:S33-S37. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.11.267. Epub 2024 Apr 8.ABSTRACTBlood cholesterol has firmly been established as a crucial risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) by elegant epidemiological studies. Naturally, means to reduce blood cholesterol level took the centerstage of research in this field. After initial lukewarm results with nicotinic acid, fibrates and some other agents, statins emerged as the most effective class of medicine to reduce blood cholesterol; in particular, the most atherogenic low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Als...

Exercise and lipids
Indian Heart J. 2024 Mar;76 Suppl 1:S73-S74. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2023.11.270. Epub 2024 Apr 8.ABSTRACTEvidence from the existing literature suggests that exercise has positive effects for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by reducing risk factors such as elevated blood lipids. Based on clinical and observational clinical trials, it is well established that increased physical activity and regular exercise has a favourable impact on blood lipids and lipoprotein profiles. Exercise training significantly decreases blood triglycerides concentration and increases high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Thou...
