As hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for vascular disease we investigated the incidence of hyperlipidemia in 23 patients with primary and 35 patients with secondary (due to diseases of the pituitary gland) adrenal insufficiency. All patients had been substituted for deficient hormones according to...
Taken together, the efficacy of folic acid therapy in stroke prevention should be evaluated and interpreted in the context of primary vs secondary prevention and individual and combined effects of baseline folate levels and MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism.

“One of the key factors driving the low excess mortality might be a high level of risk management in patients surviving a STEMI,” the authors note, also crediting the impact of greater awareness and lower threshold for treating hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia in the wake of a cardi...
We excluded volunteers with uncontrolled hypertension, secondary hyperlipidemia, or type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus that was either managed with insulin or associated with a glycohemoglobin level of at least 10% (20% above the upper limit of normal). Additionally, volunteers were excluded if, ...
Secondary efficacy outcomes Treatment effects on non-LDL lipid and Apo parameters are shown in Table 2. Total cholesterol, non–HDL-C, and Apo-B decreased substantially. Apo-B and non–HDL-C were reduced by 27% to 56% and 34% to 63%, respectively, and Lp(a) by 13% to 29% across...
reviewed evidence comparing integrated primary–secondary care with usual care [24]. While some evidence suggested improvements in satisfaction and service delivery at a slightly higher cost, the evidence regarding effects on clinical outcomes was limited. Additionally, there is a limited evidence base ...
Counseling on vascular risk factors is part of primary and secondary stroke prevention and analogously a component of dementia prevention and care. When time does not permit in-depth counseling, simply acknowledging the patient’s current weight status and asking about smoking habits may be beneficial...
