👉Remnant Cholesterol and Long-Term Incidence of Death in Coronary Artery Disease Patients ☝️Remnant cholesterol (RC) is associated with severe clinical and atherothrombotic outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). ☝️Presented findings on RC are novel in the field of coronary artery disease patients. ☝️The data presented are supported by robust methodology: a large cohort, an extended observation period, precise lipid measurements and meticulous sample handling. @society_eas @ATHjournal atherosclerosis-journal.com/…

👉Association of BMI, lipid-lowering medication, and age with prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia: a worldwide cross-sectional study 😀 Happy to be a co-author of this fantastic initiative and awesome manuscript! ☝️In conclusion, our cross-sectional analysis using global data and a more heterogenous population of people with familial hypercholesterolaemia, suggests that this condition is not protective against the development of type 2 diabetes. Factors known to be associated with a greater likelihood of type 2 diabetes in the general population, especially obesity, appear to be highly relevant to those with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia. For patients concerned about the benefit–risk profile of statins with respect to LDL cholesterol control versus the risk of diabetes, notably the markedly increased probability of type 2 diabetes associated with obesity overshadowed the potential effect of statins on type 2 diabetes. Since lipid-lowering medication is initiated at the point of diagnosis, reaching an early diagnosis of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and helping patients to maintain control of lifestyle factors related to obesity might help to avoid the development of type 2 diabetes in those at already substantially elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 🔓Open Access sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @ProfKausikRay @society_eas @fhscglobal @caguilarsalinas @Marcoslimamd @MeralKayikcoglu @rauldsf_santos @KarleziAlonso @kalrasadi @LiamBrunham @UrhGroselj @BNordestgaard @ximereyes05 @maciejbanach
