Purpose: Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, is disabling and disfiguring. Recent studies have shown that statins have a protective effect on individuals with GO. Statins were reported to trigger ferroptosis in some disorders, but little is known about whether statins protect against GO via ferroptosis.

Oral bempedoic acid (NEXLETOL in the USA; Nilemdo in the EU) and the fixed dose combination (FDC) of bempedoic acid/ezetimibe (NEXLIZET in the USA; Nustendi in the EU) are approved to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk in statin-intolerant patients who are at high risk for, or have, CV disease. A first-in-class therapy, bempedoic acid inhibits the adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. In the multinational phase III CLEAR Outcomes trial in statin-intolerant patients, once-daily bempedoic acid 180 mg significantly reduced the risk of the primary endpoint (a four-component major adverse CV event composite of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or coronary revascularization) compared with placebo.

Background: Data on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery in patients with anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) are limited.
Objectives: To evaluate LVEF recovery rate, its predictors and association with cardiovascular outcomes in a contemporary and diverse AIC cohort.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients diagnosed with AIC from 2010-2023 at two U.

Background: Guidelines recommend a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal of < 70 mg/dL for patients with very high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). While alirocumab monotherapy and ezetimibe plus statin therapy have both shown efficacy in independently reducing LDL-C, a direct comparison has not been conducted.
Methods: A retrospective chart review at the Veterans Affairs Sioux Falls Health Care System compared 20 patients with a history of ASCVD events who received alirocumab monotherapy to 60 patients receiving ezetimibe plus statin therapy.
