Among adults with HeFH who were already taking statin therapy, treatment with enlicitide was well tolerated and reduced levels of LDL-C, apolipoprotein B, non–HDL-C, and lipoprotein(a).

#MedSky American College of Cardiology says chronic, low-grade inflammation also directly linked to CVD. High levels of inflammation are linked to elevated heart disease risk, even if cholesterol looks fine. Key marker is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Time to track hsCRP alongside LDL.

We humans can obtain all the protein we need from the same source the animals raised for food obtain their protein: plants.

This eliminates the middle man. Plus, it provides the necessary amount of fiber and phytonutrients. It also prevents us from ingesting TMAO, LDL-c, saturated fat, heme iron…

Not sure how I can eat two tablespoons of psyllium husks daily, this is like eating woodgrains. So gross. It's honestly not worth the reduction in ldl-c and apob 😭 maybe I'll just eat more veggies

Adding ezetimibe to moderate-intensity statins could be a better approach to reach target LDL-C levels with less new-onset diabetes and intolerance than high high-intensity statin strategy. I think that is true for all statin doses in renal transplant recipients

Is LDL-C lowering by CETP inhibitor cardioprotective?

Brief history
ACCELERATE (Evacetrapib), N=12092, F/U: 28m
Mean LDL 81; LDL⬇️37%, Lp(a)⬇️22%
PEP (MACE-5): 12.9% vs 12.8% HR 1.01, 0.91-1.11
Trial stopped early due to futility

It’s used as add on to other lipid lowering therapy in known cardiovascular disease where LDL-C is at least 1.04mmol/l but less than 2.6mmol/l. I have used very little especially at £150/month compared to statins £2/month, Bempedoic Acid/Ezetimibe £55/month & Inclisiran £100/year (£8/month).

Merck's enlicitide, an oral PCSK9i, meets LDL-C and other endpoints in 2 phase 3 trials. Details to come. "There were no clinically meaningful differences in incidences of AEs and SAEs in either trial" #cardiosky

$NAMS +1.8% [Citi started coverage of NewAmsterdam Pharma with a Buy and a price target of $42. The LDL cholesterol lowering market has a significant unmet need, with over 75% of patients requiring more therapies. "Obicetrapib aims to be a first-in-class add-on treatment for LDL-C levels."]

The results showed that the modified Sampson calculation demonstrated the best overall correlation with the reference method, particularly in patients with high triglycerides and low LDL-C levels.

This finding suggests that the modified Sampson formula should replace the Friedewald method and potentially direct LDL-C measurements when making clinical decisions for patients with these lipid profiles.

💬 Editorial: While early detection and treatment may help some high-risk youth, the study by Bellows et al suggests broader population approaches to lower LDL-C distribution may offer greater cost-effectiveness.

芭樂降膽固醇嗎?

芭樂富含膳食纖維,有助於降低膽固醇。研究顯示,攝取足夠的芭樂,能有效促進膽固醇排出體外,並降低血液中低密度脂蛋白膽固醇(LDL-C)的含量。 定期食用芭樂,搭配均衡飲食及適度運動,能有效提升心血管健康,預防心血管疾病。 選擇新鮮、成熟的芭樂,並適量食用,才能充分發揮其保健功效。

Many followers report improved energy and weight loss, yet surveys show very high LDL cholesterol levels in users.
How could one get enough vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants while staying mostly carnivore?

Bananas are both good sources of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin B6 and manganese. Our gut bacteria love the fiber & resistant starch that bananas contain. Bananas have also been shown to reduce fasting blood sugar levels & lower the LDL to HDL ratio.

Our human PCSK9-targeting epigenetic editor is fully cross-reactive against cyno PCSK9, & we demonstrated that a single administration led to rapid and sustained, 90% reduction of PCSK9 protein, resulting in a clinically meaningful 70% reduction in LDL-C in non-human primates
