Een onbegrijpelijk besluit van het Het Parool om Theodor Holman tegen zijn zin te laten stoppen met zijn column. Diep treurig: de best schrijvende columnist van Nederland. Grote dank voor alle jaren!

Simply increasing statin doses isn’t the best solution for persistently high LDL-C. Doubling the dose only reduces LDL-C by ~6%—a diminishing return even at dramatically higher doses. Combination therapy is significantly more effective for most patients.

Eric Rodgers Tucker Goodrich Oh yeah ApoM is fascinating and is essential for incorporating small hydrophobic molecules like sphingosine-1 phosphate into HDL...however, there are 5 different S1p receptors!

Treating LDL is going to go the way treating hypertension did Combining multiple agents at lower doses instead of a high dose of one drug For example, Statin + ezetimibe or ezetimibe + CETP inhibitor or statin + PCSK9 inhibitor

Now what could cause that? 🤔 “The research suggests that "inflammaging"—chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging—appears to be a byproduct of industrialized lifestyles and varies significantly across global populations.” “Aging-related inflammation is not

This paper is so important and puts to rest those jumping on the VLDL/remnant bandwagon at the expense of ignoring LDLs. What everyone needs to do is order apoB, a one-time Lp(a) and then work hard at lowering apoB. The treatments that lower apoB lower both remnant-P and LDL-P

Obicetrapib is a selective CETPi which ⏬ LDL-C by ~36%. Now in AmericanHeartJ, we discuss the rational/design of the phase 3 REMBRANDT trial which will examine the effect of obicetrapib + ezetimibe on coronary plaque. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… John Kastelein Steve Nicholls

Het nieuwe handelsakkoord met de Verenigde Staten bevestigt wat al langer zichtbaar is: Europa heeft zijn energie-onafhankelijkheid verloren. Russisch gas is ingeruild voor Amerikaans LNG, duurder, vervuilender, en vooral een nieuwe vorm van structurele afhankelijkheid. Die

solidrock Seems to me to it is an old guy living in the past, when there were no drugs other than statins. I am an even older guy, but a lot more progressive, who recognizes reducing MACE is all about apoB lowering and high-potency statins are no longer needed in most cases. Ezetimibe plus
