I am glad to announce 📣 the publication of our Gulf ACTION registry (Early View). Congratulations 👏👌👍🎈🎉🎊 to all investigators. Years of hard work paid off at the end. Results have MAJOR IMPLICATIONS for our health care systems. Gulf ACTION is the first prospective, multi-country, multicentre cohort registry of outpatients with long-term assessment of LDL-C levels in the Arabian Gulf countries to assess the current management of dyslipidaemia with LLT. We also investigated the roles of lifestyle factors and socio-economic determinants in achieving LDL-C targets and adhering to LLT. Physicians’ perceptions of their patients' cardiovascular risk, LDL-C target levels, and use of different dyslipidaemia guidelines were also assessed in this study.
انطلقت اليوم الأربعاء 4 ديسمبر 2024 فعاليات المؤتمر الدولي لتصلب الشرايين ISA في مدينة مسقط في سلطنة عمان 🇴🇲، وذلك بالتعاون بين الرابطه العمانيه للدهون وتصلب الشرايين (بقيادة د.خالد الرصادي و د خالد الوائلي والزملاء الأعزاء من عمان) و الجمعيه الدوليه لتصلب الشرايين. من المهم الإشاره الى أهمية هذا الحدث الطبي حيث تعد هذه المره الأولى لإقامة هذا المؤتمر العالمي في دوله عربيه. إنجاز كبير لاخواننا الأعزاء في سلطنة عمان 🇴🇲 الشقيقه 👍👌. قمت بتقديم نتائج دراسة Gulf ACTION registry بصفتي الباحث الرئيسي للدراسه والتي شملت السعوديه والكويت والبحرين وعمان والإمارات. الشكر الجزيل لجميع الباحثين في الدراسه. قمنا في الدراسه بتقييم علمي شامل للمرضى المصابين بارتفاع الكوليسترول الضار LDL في دول الخليج العربي و خاصة تحديد نسبة المرضى الذين انخفض لديهم الكوليسترول الضار LDL الى المستويات التي ينصح بها عالمياً وذلك بناء على التقييم العلمي الدقيق لمستوى الخطوره القلبيه لديهم. تعد هذه الدراسه الأولى من نوعها بعد مرور اكثر من عقد من الزمن على إقامة دراسه مماثله في دول الخليج العربي. تم تسجيل البيانات الطبيه ل 2884 مريض من عدة مراكز صحيه أوليه ومستشفيات ومراكز قلب في دول الخليج بالإضافة إلى متابعة مستويات الكوليسترول لديهم بعد نصف سنه وايضاً بعد سنه من الدخول في الدراسه. النتائج الرئيسيه للدراسه: 🚨 ٢١٪ فقط (يعني مريض ١ فقط من كل ٥ مرضى) من المرضى المصنفين بأنهم على درجه عاليه من الخطوره القلبيه (معظمهم مرضى أصيبوا بجلطات قلبيه في السابق) قد وصل لديهم الكوليسترول الضار LDL إلى المستوى المستهدف عالمياً (أقل من 55mg = أقل من 1.4mmol)!. 🚨 بالإضافه إلى ذلك فإن النساء 👩 كن اقل (١٦٪) من الرجال 👨 (٢٢٪) في الوصول إلى هذا المستوى. 🚨 تحسن طفيف جداً في الوصول الى المستوى المطلوب للكوليسترول الضار عند المتابعه الطبيه بعد نصف سنه و حتى بعد اكثر من سنه من الدخول في الدراسه!. هذه النتائج متطابقه إلى حد كبير مع الدراسات العالميه في دول عديده في أوروبا و امريكا و كوريا، مما يشير الى أنها مشكله عالميه وليست في دولنا العربيه فقط. الأسباب: ١- المستوى المستهدف للكوليسترول الضار في مرضى شرايين القلب صار صعب جداً الوصول اليه باتباع الطريقه القديمه و التقليديه وهي الاعتماد فقط على أدوية 💊 الستاتين Statins monotherapy. أضف الى ذلك إيقاف هذه الادويه من قبل بعض المرضى بسبب حدوث أعراض جانبيه (غالباً بسبب آلام في العضلات). لذلك ينصح باستعمال الأدوية المركبه من علاجين (ستاتين ezetimibe) منذ اللحظه الأولى من تشخيص الاصابه بتصلب شرايين القلب، مع اضافة ابرة 💉 الكوليسترول في حال لم يتم الوصول إلى الهدف 🎯 المطلوب. ابر الكولسترول ممتازه وفعاله وآمنه ولكن غاليه جداً ولذلك تجد استعمالها يكون في أضيق الحدود في المستشفيات الحكوميه و حتى في المستشفيات الخاصه بسبب الرفض المتكرر لتغطية التكلفه (واحيانا الغير المبرر !) من قبل شركات التأمين. ٢- ارتفاع نسبة التغذية الغير صحيه (كثرة تناول الاغذيه المرتفعه بالملح 🧂 واللحوم الحمراء 🥩 وقلة تناول الاغذيه الصحيه مثل الخضروات والفواكه). ٣- ارتفاع نسبة الخمول وعدم ممارسة الرياضه (67%)!!. ٤- الدخل المادي الضعيف في نسبة من المرضى في دول الخليج وعدم وجود تأمين طبي "قوي" يغطي التكاليف المرتفعه لأدوية القلب. ٥- يفتقر التقييم الطبي للخطوره القلبيه من قبل الأطباء المعالجين احيانا إلى الدقه: Under-estimation of CVS Risk ودمتم بصحه وعافيه 🌺

1. After 24 years i have achieved a sort of landmark- i have published my 1000th peer reviewed publication ➡️ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?ter… My first paper was around spinal cord injury, and for the 1000th paper It is fitting that it was: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the UK: Recommendations of the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society ➡️ icrjournal.com/articles/perc… I would like to that all the fellows, researchers and collaborators that have enriched my professional life over the past 24 years- without you this would not be possible. I have always tried to be as collaborative as possible. I believe in team science. Over 20 fellows (clinical and non clinical) have been awarded a PhD working with me from all over the globe. I have been incredibly fortunate to work with some brilliant people and for these people to allow me to shape their careers. This is what i learnt of my journey- a 🧵
