PCSK9 Inhibition to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk
The first large clinical outcomes trials of proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have demonstrated that these drugs, when taken with statins, reduce cardiovascular events by 15% to 20% more than statins alone. However, this event reduction is less than expected for such a large decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the reasons for this disconne...
متن کاملThinking beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol: strategies to further reduce cardiovascular risk
Several large statin trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated a reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Some trials have also highlighted the significance of residual cardiovascular risk after treatment of LDL-C to target levels. This reflects the complex nature of residual cardiovascular risk. This residual risk is partially due to...
متن کاملMillion hearts: strategies to reduce the prevalence of leading cardiovascular disease risk factors--United States, 2011.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes one in three (approximately 800,000) deaths reported each year in the United States. Annual direct and overall costs resulting from CVD are estimated at $273 billion and $444 billion, respectively. Strategies that address leading CVD risk factors, such as hypertension, high cholesterol levels, and smoking, can greatly reduce the burden of CVD. To estimate the...
متن کاملPlant sterols, health claims and strategies to reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
In this issue of the journal, Williams and colleagues report the results of their study of nineteen twoto five-year old healthy children who received three grams of stanol in a margarine or five grams of wheat fiber in breakfast cereal for one month periods in a randomized crossover design [1]. Stanol margarine reduced total cholesterol by 12.4% and LDL cholesterol by 15.5%, while wheat bran re...
متن کاملStrategies to reduce oxidative stress in cardiovascular disease.
A multitude of studies in experimental animals, together with clinical data, provide evidence that increased production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) are involved in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. As ROS appear to have a critical role in atherosclerosis, there has been considerable interest in identifying the enzyme systems involved and in developing strategies to...
