A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Atherosclerosis as a Risk Factor for IBD: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
CONCLUSIONS: A history of an atherosclerotic-related condition is associated with increased odds of developing IBD, particularly among older adults. Future studies should investigate whether drugs targeting atherosclerotic-related inflammation may prevent IBD in higher-risk individuals.PMID:37721310 | DOI:10.14309/ajg.0000000000002502

Evaluation of Large-Scale Proteomics for Prediction of Cardiovascular Events
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: A protein risk score was significantly associated with ASCVD events in primary and secondary event populations. When added to clinical risk factors, the protein risk score and polygenic risk score both provided statistically significant but modest improvement in discrimination.PMID:37606673 | DOI:10.1001/jama.2023.13258

Pharmacological interventions for asymptomatic carotid stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: Although there is no high-certainty evidence to support pharmacological intervention, this does not mean that pharmacological treatments are ineffective in preventing ischaemic cerebral events, morbidity, and mortality. High-quality RCTs are needed to better inform the best medical treatment that may reduce the burden of carotid stenosis. In the interim, clinicians will have to use other sources of information.PMID:37565307 | PMC:PMC10401652 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013573.pub2

Bioinformatic platforms for clinical stratification of natural history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Pharmacother. 2023 Aug 10:pvad059. doi: 10.1093/ehjcvp/pvad059. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough bioinformatic methods gained a lot of attention in the latest years, their use in real-world studies for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) is still lacking. Bioinformatic resources have been applied to thousands of individuals from the Framingham Heart Study as well as health care-associated biobanks such as the UK Biobank, the Million Veteran Program, and the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D Consortium and randomized controlled trials (i.e. ODYSSEY, FOURIER, ASPRE...

DL-3-n-butylphthalide improves the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in high-fat diet-fed ApoE < sup > -/- < /sup > mice via suppressing inflammation, endothelial necroptosis and apoptosis
This study aims to explore whether NBP is able to improve endothelium-dependent vasodilation in atherosclerosis and the underlying mechanisms. Male ApoE-/- mice were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 9-16 weeks to establish a model of atherosclerosis. NBP were given to the mice after eating HFD for 6 weeks and atorvastatin served as a positive control. The endothelium-dependent vasodilation, the blood flow velocity, the atherosclerotic lesion area, the serum levels of lipids, inflammatory cytokines and necroptosis-relevant proteins (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL), and the endothelial necroptosis and apoptosis within the aorta wer...

Assessing statins use in a real-world primary care digital strategy: a cross-sectional analysis of a population-wide digital health approach
Lancet Reg Health Am. 2023 Jun 22;23:100534. doi: 10.1016/j.lana.2023.100534. eCollection 2023 Jul.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The digitization of the primary care system provides an opportunity to evaluate the current use of statins in secondary prevention populations (myocardial infarction or stroke).METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05285085), analysing anonymised data routinely collected by community health workers (CHW) in Brazil between May 2016 and September 2021 to assess the proportion of self-reported statins use and associated factors.FINDINGS: From the 2,133,900 individuals on the da...

Active and allosteric site binding MM-QM studies of Methylidene tetracyclo derivative in PCSK9 protein intended to make a safe antilipidemic agent
This study aims to evaluate the interaction between Methylidene tetracyclo derivative and PCSK9 protein through conceptual studies and compare the same with the interaction of the standard atorvastatin. Also, a comparative study was performed to analyze the interaction of molecules inside the active and allosteric sites of PCSK9. The RCSB downloaded pdb file 7S5H and the above said ligands were optimized to the level of local minima energy and configured inside the active and allosteric sites. The stability of non-bonded interactions of the complexes were analyzed using Desmond MD simulation studies. The results of docking...

Associations of Tissue and Soluble LOX-1 with Human Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusions In AAA, sLOX-1 was differently affected by age, cardiometabolic diseases, and corresponding medical therapies. Comparison with nonatherosclerotic disease would be beneficial to further elucidate the diagnostic potential of sLOX-1, although it was not useful for risk stratification. Aneurysmal LOX-1 mRNA expression was increased and positively associated with smooth muscle cells and collagen content, suggesting that LOX-1 is eventually not deleterious in human AAA and could counteract AAA rupture.PMID:37421287 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.122.027537
