Atrial Cardiomyopathy Predicts the Functional Outcome and Mortality in Stroke Patients
CONCLUSIONS: ACM may serve as a novel predictor of a poor long-term functional outcome in patients with NCS. Elevated NT-pro BNP levels (>250 pg/ml) were found to be associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. These findings warrant further validation in multicenter studies.PMID:38644203 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64756 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

Impact of Age on Prescribing Patterns of Cardiovascular Medications in Older Japanese Patients with Non-Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that age is a potential barrier to the treatment of patients with CKD and highlights the need to establish individualized treatment strategies for cardiovascular protection in this population.PMID:38631869 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64798 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

In the Beginning, Lipoproteins Cross the Endothelial Barrier
J Atheroscler Thromb. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.5551/jat.RV22017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis begins with the infiltration of cholesterol-containing lipoproteins into the arterial wall. White blood cell (WBC)-associated inflammation follows. Despite decades of research using genetic and pharmacologic methods to alter WBC function, in humans, the most effective method to prevent the initiation and progression of disease remains low-density lipoprotein (LDL) reduction. However, additional approaches to reducing cardiovascular disease would be useful as residual risk of events continues even with currently effect...

Joint Association of Lipoprotein(a) and a Family History of Coronary Artery Disease with the Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: The present study is the first to suggest that Lp(a) could be used to predict MACEs in CCS patients with or without FHx; however, its prognostic significance was more noteworthy in patients with FHx.PMID:38616111 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64693 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

Efficacy and Safety of Pemafibrate Extended-Release Tablet: a Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Group Comparison Trial
CONCLUSIONS: XR (0.2 and 0.4 mg/day) was non-inferior to IR (0.2 mg/day). XR 0.4 mg/day demonstrated a more potent triglyceride-lowering effect than XR 0.2 mg/day and should be considered for patients with high triglyceride levels.PMID:38616112 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64677 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)

LCZ696, an Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor, Ameliorates Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetic C57BL/6 Mice
CONCLUSION: LCZ696 ameliorated diabetes-induced endothelial dysfunction by increasing the bioavailability of ANP. Our findings suggest that LCZ696 has a vascular protective effect in a diabetic model and highlight that it may be more effective than valsartan.PMID:38616113 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64468 (Source: Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis)
