What to Know About High Triglycerides
Discussions about heart health often center around blood pressure and cholesterol, with factors like poor sleep, smoking, family history of heart disease, and chronic stress thrown in. However, there’s one variable that doesn’t get covered as often, even though it can be an important indicator of cardiovascular risk: triglycerides.
“We don’t really talk about triglycerides very much, especially compared to cholesterol, but they’re actually an essential part of understanding heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health in New York. “For some...

The 5 Best Ways to Control High Cholesterol, According to People With the Condition
There are a variety of factors that influence cardiovascular risk—but cholesterol is one of the first things that doctors pay attention to.
Having high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is “definitely a variable we try to manage, because it’s been shown to be problematic for heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health.
Though it’s often called the “bad” kind of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol makes up most of your body’s cholesterol stores. That means it’s not a villain on its own, but when levels start creeping ...

Study Protocol and Baseline Characteristics of Randomized Trial for Evaluating Secondary Prevention Efficacy of Combination Therapy-Statin and Eicosapentaenoic Acid: RESPECT-EPA, The Combination of a Randomized Control Trial and an Observational Biomarker Study
CONCLUSIONS: After this study is completed, we will have further evidence on whether a highly purified EPA is effective in reducing cardiovascular events for secondary prevention or not, as well as whether if EPA/AA ratio is a predictor for future cardiovascular events.PMID:36372250 | DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2022.11.008

Effect of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia in Japan: a 3-year post-marketing surveillance study (OCEAN3 survey)
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients receiving statins, cardiovascular event incidence did not differ significantly between O3AEE-treated patients and non-O3AEE-treated patients. Further studies are required before definitive conclusions can be drawn on the effect of O3AEE on cardiovascular event incidence in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02285166.PMID:35772177 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2022.2094914

RSSDI consensus recommendations for dyslipidemia management in diabetes mellitus
AbstractDiabetic dyslipidemia is characterised by low HDL-C and high triglyceride levels. Unlike the Caucasian population, though LDL-C levels are not very high, there is a preponderance of more atherogenic small, dense LDL particles among Indians. Furthermore, apo B levels are elevated. This, unique ‘atherogenic dyslipidemia’, is frequently encountered in South Asians with diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes are considered to be at high risk for vascular events. Hence, irrespective of other risk factors such as age, male gender, hypertension, family history, smoking, obesity, and polycyst ic ovary syndrome in women,...

Correspondence on 'Omega-3 supplementation and cardiovascular disease: formulation-based systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis' by Rizos et al
In their review and meta-analysis, Rizos et al1 reported that omega-3 supplementation at low and higher dosages showed no or weak associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, respectively. More recent reviews also showed protective activity of omega-3 against CVD outcomes. For instance, omega-3 (2–4 g/day) in patients with high or very high triglyceride (TG) levels decreases significantly high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), and oxidised low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (oxLDL) levels, and the reduction of hsCRP is enhanced when co-admini...
