New European Guidelines for Dyslipidemia Management: What is New?

Reading clinical practice guidelines, except for specific consultation, is usually tedious. These guidelines are nor meant to be read as a textbook, or at least this is what most readers believe.&nbsp; But it looks like this readers perception has finally been acknowledged, hence table 3 in the new European dyslipidemia guidelines, where the new recommendations,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/01/31/new-european-guidelines-for-dyslipidemia-management-what-is-new/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Egg Consumption and Mortality Due to Cardiovascular Events

According to this study recently published in prestigious journal JAMA, eating too much cholesterol or eggs (which have a high concentration of it in the yolk) is significantly associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, with a typical dose/effect curve. According to the authors, this information should be considered for an<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/01/14/egg-consumption-and-mortality-due-to-cardiovascular-events/" title="Read more" >...</a>

FOURIER: Efficacy of Evolocumab for Ultra-Low LDL Levels

It seems that a LDL level of 70&nbsp;mg/dL is no longer low enough for high-risk secondary patients; in consequence, this study attempted to set a new target, one that appears almost impossible to reach: 40&nbsp;mg/dL or lower. This study, simultaneously presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2017 and published in The Lancet, showed<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/09/13/fourier-efficacy-of-evolocumab-for-ultra-low-ldl-levels/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Strict LDL Monitoring Helps Reduce Plaque Volume

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between temporal changes in coronary plaque volume and the intensity of lipid lowering treatments using coronary computed tomography (CTA). &nbsp; Coronary computed tomography has acceptable accuracy in terms of quantitative measurement on plaque volume, enough to identify changes in volume according to LDL levels. &nbsp;<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2016/10/26/strict-ldl-monitoring-helps-reduce-plaque-volume/" title="Read more" >...</a>
