Drug intervention as an emerging concept for secondary prevention in patients with coronary disease
AbstractNon-culprit lesion-related coronary events are a significant concern in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary intervention. Since several studies using intra-coronary imaging modalities have reported a high prevalence of vulnerable plaques in non-culprit lesions at the initial coronary event, the immediate stabilization of these plaques by intensive pharmacological regimens may contribute to the reduction in the adverse events. Although current treatment guidelines recommend the titration of statin and other drugs to attain the treatment goal of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ...

Inhibition of PCSK9 with evolocumab modulates lipoproteins and monocyte activation in high-risk ASCVD subjects
CONCLUSIONS: This trial is the first to demonstrate that PCSK9 mAB with evolocumab can modulate circulating immune cell properties and highlights the importance of "stress" profiling of circulating immune cells that more clearly define immune contributions to ASCVD.PMID:38583289 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117529 (Source: Atherosclerosis)
