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 کاملEzetimibe, cardiovascular risk and atherogenic dyslipidaemia
Ezetimibe is a selective cholesterol absorption inhibitor with an excellent side-effect profile, able to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 15-25% from baseline in monotherapy and on top of statins and fibrates. Yet, it seems that ezetimibe produces quantitative rather than qualitative changes in LDL, with small net effects on atherogenic dyslipidaemia. This is supported by fin...
متن کاملPredicting and reducing cardiovascular risk.
The capacity to estimate and manage risk is arguably " the revolutionary idea that defines the boundary between modern times and the past " , 1 underpinning decisions in financial and commodity markets, insurance, engineering, and public health. Yet the risk of an individual developing a specific condition over a fixed period of time is a relatively new concept for clinical decision making. A r...
متن کاملAtherogenic Index of Plasma, Castelli Risk Index and Atherogenic Coefficient- New Parameters in Assessing Cardiovascular Risk
Coronary artery disease is the epidemic of modern civilization in which dyslipidemia contributes significantly to its pathogenesis. We studied the significance of three important lipid ratios i.e. Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) {(logTG)/HDLc}, Castelli’s Risk Index I & II (TC/HDLc and LDLc/HDLc respectively) and Atherogenic coefficient (AC) {(Non-HDLc)/HDLc} in predicting the risk of CAD. A ...
متن کاملAtherogenic Dyslipidemia and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Obese Children
Childhood obesity when associated with serum lipoprotein changes triggers atherosclerosis. Evidences suggest that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood and that the extent of early atherosclerosis of the aorta and coronary arteries can be associated with lipoprotein levels and obesity. Furthermore, many studies in childhood demonstrate an important relationship between parameters of i...
