#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.
Prof. Chris Packard discusses about new insights into the metabolism and atherogenicity of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and their remnants. ➡️ youtu.be/3l_SfaLlx-0 Visit r3i.org for more info. #R3i #ResidualRisk #MedicalResearch #Lipoproteins

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/the-efp…

People want to take Metformin for longevity... but it blunts gains in muscle mass with RT onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… and peak VO2 with AT onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… VO2peak is a shockingly good predictor of health and it is related to reductions in risk 1/

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=O2kcCod4…

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/… @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/a…

❤️ Calculating ASCVD risk ❤️ Current guidelines refer to LDL 🎯 BUT… does it tell the whole story 🧐 Best tests 👉🏼 to asses ASCVD risk 🥇 ApoB 🥈 Non HDL 🥉 LDL #MedTwitter #MedEd #CardioTwitter #FOAMed #lipids #cholesterol
