IL-6 Inhibition Reduces Biomarkers of Thrombosis in Individuals at High Atherosclerotic Risk
The researchers addressed whether ziltivekimab safely and effectively reduced biomarkers of inflammation and thrombosis among patients with high cardiovascular risk and chronic kidney disease.
Ezetimibe Plus Statin Therapy Reduces Apolipoprotein Levels, ASCVD Risk
In a study presented at ACC 2021, the researchers assessed the cardioprotective effects of ezetimibe and statin combination therapy vs statin up-titration.
Inclisiran Safe, Effective in Reducing LDL-C in Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD
