Achilles Tendon Thickness May Independently Predict Carotid Atherosclerosis
Increased Achilles tendon thickness was found to be an independent predictor of carotid atherosclerosis in patients at high or very high cardiovascular risk.
Atherosclerosis
Exploring Links Between Depression and Subclinical Atherosclerosis
A substantial body of research points to a multifaceted link between depression and cardiovascular disease, with rates of depression being 3 times higher in patients with CAD.
Physical Activity May Lower Risk for Heart Failure in Several High-Risk Subgroups
Greater physical activity may be associated with reduced risk for heart failure in several high-risk subgroups.
Addition of Evolocumab to Maximally Tolerated Statin Therapy Not Found to Affect Cognition
Cognition of patients with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease on a maximally tolerated statin regimen was not affected by the addition of evolocumab.
Modest Reductions in LDL-C in ASCVD Associated With Low Adherence, Prescribing of High-Intensity Statin Therapy
Suboptimal adherence to and low prescribing of high-intensity statin therapy may be associated with the modest reductions in LDL-C observed in patients with ASCVD.
Evolocumab Does Not Impact Cognition in Atherosclerotic CVD
For patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥70 mg/dL or non-high-density cholesterol ≥100 mg/dL despite statin therapy, evolocumab has no impact on patient-reported cognitive function.
Early Up-Titration to High-Intensity Statins May Reduce CV Events in Patients at Very High Risk for Atherosclerotic CVD
Up-titration to high-intensity statins early on in the course of treatment was found to be associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular (CV) events compared with no up-titration in patients at very high risk for CV disease.
Inclisiran Associated With 50% Reduction in LDL-C in Patients With ASCVD on Maximally Tolerated Statin Therapy
Subcutaneous administration of inclisiran every 6 months was found to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 50% in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia at Higher Risk for Cardiac Complications From COVID-19
Individuals with novel coronavirus disease 2019 who have familial hypercholesterolemia may be at higher risk for cardiac complications and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the long-term.
Assessing the Effect of ACC/AHA Hypertension Definition on Atherosclerotic Vascular Events in SLE
Researchers aimed to assess the effect of the 2017 American College of
Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines definition of hypertension on atherosclerotic vascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus.
