Introduction And Objectives: Malnutrition is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with increased mortality and hospital admissions. There is evidence that nutritional intervention in the inpatient setting improves the prognosis, but evidence in the outpatient setting is limited. This study aims to assess whether a nutritional intervention in outpatients with HF and malnutrition produces a benefit in their morbidity and mortality.

- The study investigates whether early intensive lipid-lowering therapy can help achieve lower LDL cholesterol levels in patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- It evaluates the effectiveness of a combination therapy (high-potency statin, bempedoic acid, and ezetimibe) compared to standard guideline-recommended treatment on patients at risk for high LDL levels.
- The primary goal is to see if this intensive treatment can lead to at least 33% of patients reaching LDL levels below 55 mg/dL within 8 weeks after their AMI.
Background: The overall impact of post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) bleeding on long term prognosis after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has been established, but it may differ between access and non-access related bleeding events. The impact of antithrombin choice on bleeding may also differ according to the origin of the bleed. We sought to determine the origin of bleeding relative to the access site, its prognostic significance and the respective impact of antithrombin therapy in the EUROMAX trial.
