Contemporary Treatment and Outcome of Patients with Ischaemic Lower Limb Amputation: A Focus on Sex Differences
CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing ischaemic LLA still have a poor prognosis marked by high rates of recurrent cardiovascular and limb events resulting in > 50% mortality within two years. The continuous lack of guideline recommended therapies, particularly in women, may be associated with the persisting poor outcome, necessitating urgent further investigation.PMID:37355161 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.06.018

Statin use improves survival of patients with known or suspected lower extremity artery disease on all ankle brachial index levels
Conclusions: According to our study, statins seem to improve overall and amputation free survival regardless of ABI level. Statin use was associated with lower mortality from cerebrovascular disease, overall mortality and in the propensity score matched patients with ABI<0.9 or >1.3 with cardiovascular mortality.PMID:36458408 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001041

Risk Factors for Postischemic Stroke Epilepsy in Young Adults: A Nationwide Population-Based Study in Taiwan
ConclusionsStroke severity, aphasia, malignancy, and drug abuse were associated increased risk of PSE and statin use may protect against PSE in young adults. Reducing the severity of stroke, statin use and controlling unhealthy behaviors might be able to decrease the development of PSE. Since PSE is associated with poor outcomes, early identification or intervention of PSE based on the risk factors might reduce the harmful effects of PSE.

Cardiovascular Risk and Treatment Outcomes in Severe Hypercholesterolemia: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Conclusions Using large Korean cohort data, our study proved incrementally elevated cardiovascular risk and clinical benefit associated with LDL-C<100 mg/dL in individuals with severe hypercholesterolemia. These results support aggressive lipid lowering and provide evidence for the LDL-C target in this population.PMID:35470675 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.121.024379

Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and All-Cause Mortality According to Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level in the Elderly, a Nationwide Study
CONCLUSION: Among the elderly, lower LDL-C was associated with decreased risks of MI and stroke. Lower LDL-C achieved by statins in the elderly was associated with a decreased risk of all-cause death during follow-up, suggesting that LDL-C paradox for the premature death risk in the elderly should not be applied to statin users. Intensive statin therapy should not be hesitated for older adults with cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes.PMID:35255552 | DOI:10.4093/dmj.2021.0225

Long-Term Use of Statins Lowering the Risk of Rehospitalization Caused by Ischemic Stroke Among Middle-Aged Hyperlipidemic Patients: A Population-Based Study
Conclusion: Statins were associated with long-term secondary prevention of reHospIS for hyperlipidemic patients. Rosuvastatin seemed to have the best protective effects. On the other hand, Bezafibrate appears to be beneficial for hyperlipidemic patients developing diabetes. Further research into the combination treatment of statin and nonstatin lipid-lowering medicines in hyperlipidemic patients developing diabetes is warranted.

Moderate-Intensity Statins Plus Ezetimibe vs. High-Intensity Statins After Coronary Revascularization: A Cohort Study
ConclusionsPatients undergoing a coronary revascularization procedure who received moderate-intensity statins plus ezetimibe showed similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events as patients who received high-intensity statins.

Major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with diabetes treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists vs DPP-4 inhibitors
Conclusions/interpretationIn individuals with diabetes, the use of GLP1RAs was associated with significantly lower risks of major adverse limb events when compared with the use of DPP4is. The reduction in risk was driven largely by reduced rate of amputations. Moreover, treatment with GLP1RAs was also associated with lower risks of cardiovascular death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and death from any cause. However, some unexplored confounding factors may exist in this observation study and future large-scale randomised controlled trials are needed.Graphical abstract
