Treatment of pediatric heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia 7 years after the EAS recommendations: Real-world results from a large French cohort
CONCLUSION: Pediatric patients with FH followed up in specialist lipid clinics in France receive late treatment, undertreatment, or suboptimal treatment and half of them do not reach the therapeutic LDL-C goal. Finding a more efficient framework for linking scientific evidence to clinical practice is needed.PMID:38538465 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2024.01.004 (Source: Archives de Pediatrie)

Improved lipid-lowering treatment and reduction in cardiovascular disease burden in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: The SAFEHEART follow-up study
CONCLUSIONS: HoFH is a severe life threating disease with a high genetic and phenotypic variability. The improvement in lipid-lowering treatment and LDL-C levels have contributed to reduce ASCVD events.PMID:38523000 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117516 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Comprehensive review of statin-intolerance and the practical application of Bempedoic Acid

Bempedoic acid (BA), an ATP citrate lyase inhibitor, decreases hepatic generation of cholesterol, upregulates low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor expression in the liver, and eventually clears circulating LDL-cholesterol from the blood.

The impact of the 2019 ESC/EAS dyslipidaemia guidelines on real-world initial lipid-lowering therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the latest guidelines on the real-world clinical practice of initial lipid-lowering therapy, especially on the use of ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors in China. All adult patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction in our hospital between August 31, 2018, and August 31, 2020, were divided into the following 2 groups: those patients treated before the latest guideline release, and those patients treated after the release. A propensity score-matched method was used, and logistic regression was used to assess the association wi...

Distinct effects of rosuvastatin and rosuvastatin/ezetimibe on senescence markers of CD8+ T cells in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsWe observed a reduction in senescent CD8+ T cells and an increase in the ratio of naive to memory CD8+ T cells with rosuvastatin/ezetimibe treatment. Our results demonstrate the immunomodulatory roles of ezetimibe in combination with statins, independent of improvements in lipid or HbA1c levels. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)
