Five years on, the key question must be: Are we closer to defining the optimal therapeutic strategy for reducing lipid-related residual CV risk? New insights: what is the relevance of HDL versus TRLs to residual risk? Emerging evidence provides new insight into the relative importance of TRLs...
You do realize that the sc. lipid hypothesis (relevance of blood lipid levels in CVD) and dietary fat hypothesis (relevance of dietary fat in CVD) are two separate things? There is absolutely NO doubt about the roles of LDL, HDL etc. in the development in CVD. To imply otherwise is to...
Hazelnuts containmonosaturated fat, which contributes to heart health.5Frequent nut consumption has been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and with reduced cardiovascular risk factors such as:6 Dyslipidemia(an imbalance of lipids, such as cholesterol, in the blood) Type ...
Prior to getting discharged I was hooked up to a 30-day heart monitor test. This is a system where three adhesive patches are attached to my chest and those wires go down to a pager-sized device on my belt. That device, then sends a wireless signal (Bluetooth?) to a modified mobile ...
Dyslipidemia is the most fundamental risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In clinical practice, many commonly prescribed medications can alter the patient’s lipid profile and, potentially, the risk for ASCVD—either favorably
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a group of different types of heart disease. Common heart disease symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, light-headedness, and dizziness. Heart disease has many causes, including genetics, atherosc
Usher syndrome is an inherited disorder, but not everyone affected has the same gene variants. Several genes are commonly associated with three different types of Usher syndrome. Genetic testing can be done to detect these genes:4 Those with type 1 may have variants in CDH23, MY07A, PCHD15...
Research revealed a strong genetic determinant of Lp(a) levels and 11 years after Lp(a) discovery the particles’ elevated values were linked with enhanced coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence. In the 1980s of the last century, some molecular studies allowed the recognition of LPA and ...
“that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD,”[vii] or even more recently, that the “current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty ...
