Combination Moderate-Intensity Statin  and Ezetimibe Therapy for Elderly Patients With Atherosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe combination therapy showed similar cardiovascular benefits to those of high-intensity statin monotherapy with lower intolerance-related drug discontinuation or dose reduction in elderly patients with ASCVD having a higher risk of intolerance, nonadherence, and discontinuation with high-intensity statin therapy. (RAndomized Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Lipid-lowerING With Statin Monotherapy Versus Statin/Ezetimibe Combination for High-risk Cardiovascular Diseases [RACING Trial]; NCT03044665).PMID:37019580 | DOI:10.1016/j.jacc.2023.02.007

Effect of PCSK9 inhibition in combination with statin therapy on intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: A high-resolution MRI study
This study aimed to determine the effects of PCSK9i on intracranial plaques in moderate-intensity statin-treated individuals with ICAS.METHODS: This prospective, observational study monitored the imaging and clinical outcomes of individuals with ICAS who were consecutively treated with moderate-intensity statins with or without PCSK9i. Individuals underwent monthly visits and repeat high-resolution MRI (HR-MRI) at week 12. The primary outcome was a change in HR-MRI after 12 weeks of treatment and the secondary outcome was major vascular events during follow-up.RESULTS: Forty-nine individuals were studied (PCSK9i group: 26 ...

Differential association between apolipoprotein B and LDL cholesterol and cerebral atherosclerosis according to pre-stroke statin use
CONCLUSIONS: ApoB was consistently associated with ICAS, particularly symptomatic stenosis, in both statin-naïve and statin-treated patients. The close association between ApoB levels and residual risk in statin-treated patients could be partially explained by these results.PMID:36966561 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.03.014

Role of sirtuins in attenuating plaque vulnerability in atherosclerosis
Mol Cell Biochem. 2023 Mar 23. doi: 10.1007/s11010-023-04714-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is characterized by the development of intimal plaque, thrombosis, and stenosis of the vessel lumen causing decreased blood flow and hypoxia precipitating angina. Chronic inflammation in the stable plaque renders it unstable and rupture of unstable plaques results in the formation of emboli leading to hypoxia/ischemia to the organs by occluding the terminal branches and precipitate myocardial infarction and stroke. Such delibitating events could be controlled by the strategies that prevent plaque development or pla...

Differential association between apolipoprotein B and LDL cholesterol and cerebral atherosclerosis according to pre-stroke statin use
To reduce cardiovascular risk, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the primary target of statin treatment, while apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is secondary. We investigated the association between atherosclerotic stenosis and LDL-C or ApoB levels and whether a difference in association exists according to pre-admission statin use in ischemic stroke patients.

Atherosclerotic patients with diabetes mellitus may break through the threshold of healthy TMAO levels formed by long-term statins therapy
CONCLUSION: Diabetics have abnormally high plasma TMAO levels even under continuous statins treatment, which may contribute to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on monitoring TMAO levels in diabetic patients to reduce adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients.PMID:36879744 | PMC:PMC9984437 | DOI:10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13657

Bempedoic Acid and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Statin-Intolerant Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Among statin-intolerant patients, treatment with bempedoic acid was associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or coronary revascularization).

Eliminating Medication Copayments for Low-income Older Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: In low-income adults at high cardiovascular risk, eliminating copayments (average $35 a month) did not improve clinical outcomes or reduce healthcare costs, despite a modest improvement in adherence to medications.PMID:36871215 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064188

Self-management Support Using Advertising Principles for Older Low Income Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Young Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy Have Increased Rates of Recurrent Disease and Late Neurologic Events
CONCLUSIONS: Young patients undergoing CEA are more likely to be African American, female, and active smokers. They are more likely to present symptomatically and undergo non-elective CEA. Although perioperative outcomes are similar, younger patients are more likely to experience carotid occlusion or restenosis as well as subsequent neurological events, during relatively short follow-up. These data suggest that younger CEA patients may require more diligent follow-up, and a continued aggressive approach to medical management of atherosclerosis to prevent future events related to the operated artery, given the particularly ...

Population-wide cohort study of statin use for the secondary cardiovascular disease prevention in Scotland in 2009-2017
Conclusions Statin use remains suboptimal for the secondary ASCVD prevention, particularly in women and older patients, and following ischaemic stroke and PAD hospitalisations. Improving this would offer substantial benefits to population health at low cost.
