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...
Background 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...
Background and aims: INTERASPIRE is an international study of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, designed to measure if guideline standards for secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation are being achieved in a timely manner. Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, adults hospitalized in the preceding 6-24 months with incident or recurrent CHD were sampled in 14 countries from all 6 World Health Organization r...

Preventive cardiology encompasses the whole spectrum of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, at individual and population level, through all stages of life. This includes promotion of cardiovascular (CV) health, management of individuals at risk of developing CVD, and management of patients with established CVD, through interdisciplinary care in different settings. Preventive cardiology addresses all aspect...
The objective of the study was to compare the social, demographic and service characteristics of children and adolescents attended by mental health services in a Metropolitan Region of Northeast Brazil. This was a cross-sectional study with children and adolescents assisted by these services.
