New, Novel Lipid-Lowering Agents for Reducing Cardiovascular Risk: Beyond Statins ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #Cardiology #cardioEd #cardioTwitter

Diabetes affects millions globally. Research, education & advocating for better healthcare access are key to supporting people living with diabetes & people at high risk for developing diabetes. #PCOS #WorldDiabetesDay

#DYK having FH and having high Lp(a) are two separate disorders? Both are risk factors for early cardiovascular disease. So if you have FH, you should also know your Lp(a) levels. #KnowFH #KnowLpa

Today is World Diabetes Day: Those with Diabetes live with increased CVD risk partly due to increased TG and remnant cholesterol (RC). The R3I foundation is dedicated to better understanding RC metabolism.

Today we celebrate #WorldDiabetesDay! Since 1991, November 14 has served as a day that unites the global diabetes community to raise awareness. Join the conversation and show your support by sharing your stories and wearing blue. #LetsMakeTime #WearBlue #DiabetesAwarenessMonth

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay. #CVD and #diabetes are major global concerns that share common risk factors ⚠️, such as high BMI, blood pressure and cholesterol. By introducing early detection into #HealthPolicies, we can improve European lives and save costs. #CheckYourNumbers 👇 efpia.eu/news-events/th…

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay. Marking the birthday of #Banting, the day is an opportunity to celebrate the lives of people with #diabetes & advocate for improved access to care, education & support for the many that continue to lack it - worldiabetesday.org #KnowYourRisk

Lipid-lowering in diabetes: An update @ATHjournal 💥 Effective LDL-C Lowering with at least a >50 % reduction & a comprehensive reduction of all apo B-containing lipoproteins should represent the top priority to prevent ASCVD in pts with DM2. atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…

@ZHeart11768530 @ATHjournal November is Diabetes month: lets get on top of CVD risk and lipid control. Effective reduction in all apoB-containing lipoproteins including remnant cholesterol.

@WorldObesity @worldheartfed November is Diabetes month: Obesity is one of the leading metabolic causes of Type 2 Diabetes, with both increasing your CVD risk trajectory. Check the signs, talk to you health professional and curb Diabetes. @PcosTogether @UofAnutrition @UAlberta_FoMD @WCHRIUofA

🚨 1 in 5 adults worldwide are expected to have #obesity by 2025. 🆕 Our position paper with @worldheartfed summarises the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease (#CVD) mortality. 📝 Learn more: bit.ly/3THvOZa

We need your help! Concerned about CVD risk? Or perhaps just like studying cholesterol and lipid metabolism… watch our Heart Health video, like in YouTube and help us spread the word to win the IHDCYH Video competition! See... youtube.com/watch?v=O2kcCo…

Despite potential advantages, recent evidence has suggested that gender-AHT may increase the risk of CVD. However, owing to a paucity of research, the mechanisms underpinning these increased risks are poorly understood 👇 🔗atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-… @society_eas

👉Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnants, low-density lipoproteins, and risk of coronary heart disease: a UK Biobank study 🔓Open Access The strength of association of apoB with CHD risk is not uniform; rather, it depends on which particle the apoB resides; TRL/remnant particles appear to have an inherent atherogenicity that is substantially greater than that of LDL The implications of the present investigation and earlier findings are: (i) use of non-HDL-C as a single, aggregate marker of risk may not provide as accurate prediction of CHD risk as first thought since its component parts—TRL/remnant-C and LDL-C—appear to have differing quantita- tive associations with risk (ii) interventions targeted to regulate TRL/remnant lipoproteins may prove beneficial, especially when ad- dressing the residual TRL/remnant-associated risk in statin-treated patients Finally, there is a pressing need not only to develop more refined methods for assessment of remnant concentrations but also to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of the atherogenicity of this lipoprotein species academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…
