Inclisiran Safe, Effective in Reducing LDL-C in Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD
Researchers conducted a patient-level pooled analysis from phase 3 trials of inclisiran in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD.
Cardiovascular Disease
Regular Processed Meat Consumption Linked to CVD Risk
Higher intake of unprocessed red meat, poultry not tied to increased risks for mortality, major cardiovascular disease.
Robust Immune Response to COVID-19 Vaccine Found in Pregnant Women
And passage of antibodies through the placenta and breastmilk appears to confer immunity to newborns.
Managing the Interplay of Familial Hypercholesterolemia and COVID-19
About 90% of those with familial hypercholesterolemia have not been diagnosed or treated for it, leaving them more vulnerable for COVID-19 infection and its complications.
Hypertension During Pregnancy Linked to Increased Risk of Premature All-Cause and CVD Mortality
Researchers studied whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), either gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia, can be associated with increased risk of premature mortality.
CTA Equivalent to ICA for Identifying Long-Term Non–ST Segment Elevation ACS Risk
Computed tomography angiography and invasive coronary angiography may equally predict clinical outcome in patients with nonST segment elevation ACS.
Short Periods of Intense Physical Activity Associated With Cardiorespiratory Fitness—Especially in Men With Type 2 Diabetes
Bouts of intense exercise can lead to cardiorespiratory fitness and decreased risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Telmisartan Tabets Recalled Due to Label Error Stating Incorrect Dose
Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
Cardiorenal Disease Burden Increased in Type 1 Diabetes Across Lifespan
Patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes have a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but now, a new study shows that type 1 diabetes patients are more susceptible to both cardiovascular and renal disease.
Aspirin Use Tied to Lower Rates of COVID-19 Infection
Adults using low-dose aspirin for primary or secondary prevention of CVD had lower likelihood of COVID-19 infection vs nonusers.
