SECONDARY PREVENTION IN PATIENTS AT EXTREME CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: WHAT CAN WE DO MORE?
Anno:
2025
Prevalence of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is estimated to be around 1/200-250, which corresponds to 14-34 million cases worldwide. A 27 years-old man was referred to our clinic because of exercise angina. He had a total cholesterol (TC) of 379 mg/dl, HDL 38 mg/dl, LDL 330 mg/dl and TG…
The future of lowering triglycerides therapy in secondary cardiovascular prevention: insights from the JET-LDL Registry
Anno:
2025
Rational Hypertriglyceridemia is a common finding in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), contributing to the residual cardiovascular risk in this population. In CAD patients with persistently elevated triglycerides levels despite lipid lowering therapies, a treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE), compared to placebo, significantly lowered the risk of ischemic…
EFFECTIVENESS OF RENAL DENERVATION IN HIGH RISK PATIENTS WITH RESISTANT HYPERTENSION
Anno:
2025
Background: Recent trials have confirmed the safety and efficacy of catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) as nonpharmacological treatment in resistant hypertension  in the presence of concomitant antihypertensive therapy. Aim: we report data of preliminary experience with RDN (Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system, Medtronic Inc.) in patients with resistant hypertension and…

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INCLISIRAN IN OUTPATIENTS WITH RECENT ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME.
Anno:
2025
Background: Early and intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction after recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may reduce recurrent CV event risk. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy in LDL-C lowering added to usual care, of inclisiran administrated in outpatient with recent ACS. Methods: The routine data of 11 patients (8 M/3 F)…
The challenge of secondary cardiovascular prevention in very high Lipoprotein (a) level. A case report
Anno:
2025
Background While advances in technology and procedural techniques have significantly improved outcomes post-PCI, two pharmacological strategies have gained particular attention for their effectiveness in reducing long-term cardiovascular (CV) risk: antiplatelet therapies and lipid-lowering therapies (LLT). The 10-year recurrence risk for major CV events remains as high as 10–30%, due…
Polypharmacy and acute kidney function impairment after starting bempedoic acid
Anno:
2025
Background. Bempedoic acid is an established treatment for dyslipidemia. In randomized clinical trial the treatment with bempedoic acid was associated with a small increase in creatinine levels. We present the  case of a patient with chronic coronary syndrome, heart failure with mild reduction of ejection fraction, and dyslipidemia with…
TRIPLE ORAL COMBINATION TO LOWER LDL-C IN A PATIENT WITH POLYVASCULAR DISEASES
Anno:
2025
Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) events with high rate of recurrence. Bempedoic acid is a therapeutical option for the management of patients with hypercholesterolemia approved by EMA in 2020 and available in Italy since 2023.   We report the case of…
