Association between trajectories of statin adherence and subsequent cardiovascular events.
PURPOSE Trajectory models have been shown to (1) identify groups of patients with similar patterns of medication filling behavior and (2) summarize the trajectory, the average adherence in each group over time. However, the association between adherence trajectories and clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study investigated the association between 12-month statin trajectories and subsequent...
متن کاملNiacin and Statin Combination Therapy for Atherosclerosis Regression and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Events
Despite substantial risk reductions targeting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with statins, there remains significant residual risk as evidenced by incident and recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events among statintreated patients. Observational studies have shown that low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with increased CVD risk. It remains unclear ...

Most of the times, this infection happens in people with heart problems like the presence of prosthetic valves, history of previous endocarditis, some congenital heart defects and heart tra...
متن کاملEndotoxemia, immune response to periodontal pathogens, and systemic inflammation associate with incident cardiovascular disease events.
OBJECTIVE In periodontitis, overgrowth of gram-negative bacteria may cause endotoxemia and systemic inflammation leading to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We investigated in a prospective study the associations of serum endotoxin, antibodies to periodontal pathogens, and inflammation markers with the risk of incident CVD. METHODS AND RESULTS The FINRISK 1992 cohort of 6051 individuals was fol...
