Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is less rare than one might think and, despite highly effective lipid-lowering therapies (LLT), more than half of the patients treated do not reach the lipid target indicated by the guidelines. In these patients, lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is the most effective tool to lowering apo-B containing atherogenic lipoproteins. In own center, since 1994, thanks to routinely cascade testing performed in patients who start LA, we have identified a pediatric population (30 subjects) that we analyzed retrospectively.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of premature death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vascular damage is often detected belatedly, usually evaluated by expensive and invasive techniques. CKD involves specific risk factors that lead to vascular calcification and atherosclerosis, where inflammation plays a critical role. However, there are few inflammation-related markers to predict vascular damage in CKD.

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Even though the absolute risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among SLE patients increases with advancing age, younger female patients are at the greatest risk of developing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These young patients are not considered to be at high risk for CVD using traditional risk assessment tools.

Background: White coat effect (WCE) is a phenomenon linked to increased cardiovascular risk, where office blood pressure readings exceed home or ambulatory measurements. Excess weight and elevated blood pressure or glucose are associated with WCE in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study compared dapagliflozin and glibenclamide on WCE in T2D patients under equivalent blood pressure and glucose control.
