Moreover, it has been suggested to consider COVID-19 patients as a referral group to CR per se when the viral disease is complicated by acute cardiovascular (CV) events; in these patients, the potential development of COVID-related CV sequelae, as well as of pulmonary arterial hypertension, needs to be focused. This framework might be used to orient organization and operational of CR programmes during the COVID-19 crisis. To obtain safety and efficacy data of alirocumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor, in a real-life setting in high cardiovascular (CV) risk patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH) or very-high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels despite maximally tolerated dose of statin ± other lipid-lowering therapies (MTD ± LLTs). ODYSSEY APPRISE was a prospective, single-arm, Phase 3b open-label (≥12 weeks to ≤ 30 months) European/Canadian study with alirocumab. Patients received alirocumab 75 or 150 mg every 2 weeks, with dose adjustment based on physician's judgment. In total, 994 patients were enrolled and treated. The mean [standard deviation (SD)] duration of alirocumab exposure was 72.4 (42.5) weeks. Patients with HeFH were younger [mean (SD) age of 53.8 (11.6) vs. 61.6 (10.1) years], more likely to be female (41.7% vs. 29.1%) and had higher baseline LDL-C compared with non-familial hypercholesterolaemia (non-FH) patients [mean (SD) of 5.1 (1.7) vs. 4.1 (1.1) mmol/L]. The overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was 71.6%; common TEAEs included nasopharyngitis (7.8%), myalgia (7.1%), and headache (6.2%). At Week 12, mean (SD) LDL-C was reduced by 54.8 (20.1)% from baseline [2.6 (1.2) mmol/L], maintained for the trial duration. LDL-C was reduced below 1.8 mmol/L and/or by ≥50% reduction from baseline in 69.1% of patients overall, and for 64.7 and 77.4% of the HeFH and non-FH subgroups, respectively. In a real-life setting in patients with hypercholesterolaemia and high CV risk, alirocumab was generally well tolerated and resulted in clinically significant LDL-C reductions.In a real-life setting in patients with hypercholesterolaemia and high CV risk, alirocumab was generally well tolerated and resulted in clinically significant LDL-C reductions. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are transmitted from parents to children. We prospectively examined the association between parental cardiovascular health (CVH) and time to onset of CVD in the offspring. The study consisted of a total of 5967 offspring-mother-father trios derived from the Framingham Heart Study. Cardiovascular health score was defined using the seven American Heart Association's CVH metrics attained at ideal levels poor (0-2), intermediate (3-4), and ideal CVH (5-7). Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models, Kaplan-Meier plots, and Irwin's restricted mean were used to examine the association and sex-specific differences between parental CVH and offspring's CVD-free survival. In a total of 71 974 person-years of follow-up among the offspring, 718 incident CVD events occurred. The overall CVD incidence rate was 10 per 1000 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI) 9.3-10.7]. Offspring of mothers with ideal CVH lived 9 more years free of CVD than offspring of mothers with poor CVH (P < 0.001). Maternal poor CVH was associated with twice as high hazard of early onset of CVD compared with maternal ideal CVH (adjusted Hazard Ratio 2.09, 95% CI 1.50-2.92). No statistically significant association was observed in the hazards of CVD-free survival by paternal CVH categories. We found that offspring of parents with ideal CVH had a greater CVD-free survival. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Aloxistatin.html Maternal CVH was a more robust predictor of offspring's CVD-free survival than paternal CVH, underscoring the need for clinical and policy interventions that involve mothers to break the intergenerational cycle of CVD-related morbidity and mortality.We found that offspring of parents with ideal CVH had a greater CVD-free survival.

This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of cumulative burden of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) on risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs). A total of 34959 participants were enrolled who participated in the four surveys during 2006-2013. Cumulative CVRF burden was calculated as number of years (2006-2013) multiplied by the values of CVRFs including systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The primary outcome was defined as the CVE during 2012-2017, including ischaemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality. During 4.62 (±0.71) years follow-up on average, there were 2118 (6.06%) CVE, including 847 (2.42%) ischaemic stroke, 221 (0.63%) myocardial infarction, and 1185 (3.39%) all-cause mortality. Higher cumulative burden of individual CVRF was significantly associated with increased risk of outcomes, except for LDL-C for all-cause mortality, FBG for myocardial infarction, and hs-CRP for ischaemic stroke. In Cox proportional hazards model, compared with the group, of the lower quartile of integrated cumulative burden, the hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) of the upper quartile was 2.45 (2.03-2.94) for CVE, 3.65 (2.68-4.96) for ischaemic stroke, 4.51 (2.19-9.27) for myocardial infarction, and 1.73 (1.36-2.21) for all-cause mortality. We demonstrated the correlation between cumulative burden of CVRFs and cardiovascular risk, except for cumulative burden of hs-CRP and ischaemic stroke. Thus, our study suggests the necessity to extend the observation duration of CVRFs in order to elucidate the life-course cumulative effect.We demonstrated the correlation between cumulative burden of CVRFs and cardiovascular risk, except for cumulative burden of hs-CRP and ischaemic stroke.
