Global variation in lipoprotein/a levels among patients with coronary heart dis...
Barkas, Fotios; Brandts, Julia; De Bacquer, Dirk; Jennings, Catriona; De Backer, Guy G.; Kotseva, Kornelia; Ryden, Lars; Lip, Gregory Y. H.Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a common risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, potentially more atherogenic per particle than low-density lipoprotein. An estimated 1.5 billion individuals globally have elevated levels ≥125 nmol/L, considered as a risk-enhancing threshold. Although Lp(a) levels vary by ethnicity, ongoing trials of novel therapies in predominantly secondary prevention patie...
Frequency of residual combined dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia in patient...
Santos, Raul D.; Ray, Kausik K.; De Bacquer, Dirk; Jennings, Catriona; Kotseva, Kornelia; Rydén, Lars; Lip, Gregory Y. H.; Erlund, Iris; Ganly, SandraBackground and aims: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is independently associated with risk of atherosclerotic events, even when LDL-cholesterol levels appear controlled. This INTERASPIRE study determined the frequency of HTG and residual combined dyslipidemia and their related factors in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) from 13 countries across six World Health Organization (WHO) regions. Methods: Particip...
Optical coherence tomography in coronary atherosclerosis assessment and interve...
Araki, Makoto; Park, Seung-Jung; Dauerman, Harold L.; Uemura, Shiro; Kim, Jung-Sun; Di Mario, Carlo; Johnson, Thomas W.; Guagliumi, GiulioSince optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first performed in humans two decades ago, this imaging modality has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and adopted clinically for the optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. In the past 10 years, substantial advances have been made in the understanding of in vivo vascular biology using OCT. Identification by OCT of culprit plaque...
