Atherogenic dyslipidemia and residual cardiovascular risk in statin-treated patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treatment with statins reduces the rate of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients, but residual risk persists. At least part of that risk may be attributable to atherogenic dyslipidemia characterized by low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (≤40 mg/dL) and high triglycerides (triglycerides≥150 mg/dL). METHODS We studied subjects with stroke or transient ischemic...
متن کاملResidual Cardiovascular Risk in Individuals on Blood Pressure–Lowering Treatment
BACKGROUND Hypertensive individuals on blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment with BP in the normal or high-normal range have higher cardiovascular risk than untreated persons with usual BP in the same range. This residual risk (relative and absolute) is not well quantified and may be attributable in part to the higher burden of subclinical disease in treated individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملReducing residual risk in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) spans the human lifespan, including primordial, primary, and secondary prevention efforts. Extensive evidence from epidemiological, genetic, and animal studies confirms the central importance of elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) in atherosclerotic CVD events.1 The Cholesterol Treatment Trialists Collaboration provides perperson...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a): A Promising Marker for Residual Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, although optimal medical therapy has been prescribed for primary and secondary preventions. Residual cardiovascular risk for some population groups is still considerably high although target low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level has been achieved. During the past few decad...
متن کاملResidual Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetic Patients: the Role of Fibrate/statin Combination
Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The use of statins significantly reduces the rate of CVD events but many T2DM patients, especially those with mixed dyslipidaemia (MD), have residual CVD risk. The use of fibrates, which improve triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, is beneficial for the treatment of patients ...
