Systolic Hypertension Without Atherosclerosis Increases Risk for Thyroid Cysts
The researchers believe the results of this study highlight the need for an effective screening tool for thyroid cysts among the general population.
Atherosclerosis
Severe NAFLD Associated With High Subclinical Atherosclerosis Risk
The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between subclinical coronary artery disease and the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Lowering LDL-C May Prevent Cardiovascular Disease in Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis
Researchers investigate whether asymptomatic atherosclerotic CVD can be prevented with an aggressive medical treatment that reduces LDL cholesterol to <60 mg/dl.
Inclisiran Safe, Effective in Reducing LDL-C in Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD
Researchers conducted a patient-level pooled analysis from phase 3 trials of inclisiran in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or ASCVD.
Silent Myocardial Infarction Increased Risk for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease at 10 Years
This study looked at 2946 individuals without cardiovascular disease who were assessed to have intermediate ASCVD risk and underwent electrocardiography.
Thyroid Dysfunction Not a Risk Factor for Carotid Plaque Development
Subclinical thyroid dysfunction did not influence the cumulative incidence of new carotid plaques in healthy individuals aged 20 or older.
AACE, ACE Dyslipidemia Clinical Practice Guidelines Update
The new guidelines call for treating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in specific patient groups to lower goals than previously recommended.
Subclinical Atherosclerosis Risk Increased With Cardiometabolic Syndrome
High fitness seemed to attenuate the risk for subclinical atherosclerosis in a cohort of men participating in a health screening program.
Depression Tied to Coronary Artery Disease Risk in Women
Nearly 2000 women underwent screening to determine if a link exists between depression or depressive symptoms and coronary artery disease.
Poor Sleep May Increase Odds for Atherosclerosis in Peri-, Postmenopausal Women
Both peri- and postmenopausal women were assessed to find a relationship between sleep time, sleep quality, and carotid atherosclerosis.
