Department of Cardiology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey.
This study evaluated the management of dyslipidemia in Turkey with the goal of understanding current diagnosis and treatment patterns, as well as identifying unmet needs in achieving effective low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets. Using a Delphi panel consisting of nine expert cardiologists, the study reveals key gaps in dyslipidemia management, particularly in the underutilization of combination therapies, such as statins and PCSK9 inhibitors, which are crucial for achieving LDL-C targets in high-risk patients. The findings indicate that while many patients with very high cardiovascular risk are diagnosed, a significant proportion do not receive optimal treatment to reach LDL-C levels recommended by European guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Lipid control is vital for reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and this study assessed how well statin therapy works in achieving target lipid levels.
- Conducted at a medical college in India, the study reviewed data from 72 adult patients with various types of coronary syndromes, measuring their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels against established guidelines.
- Results indicated that many patients still had high LDL-C levels despite being on statin therapy, pointing to the need for improved treatment strategies for better lipid management in CAD patients.

Backgruound: The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an immunonutritional test tool based on serum albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocyte counts. It has been studied as a simple prognostic predictor for various carcinomas. This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative CONUT scores and the clinicopathological characteristics in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.

Key Clinical Message: Early recognition and management of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are crucial, especially in patients with extensive xanthomas and premature coronary artery disease. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive lipid-lowering therapy can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality rates. Careful clinical assessment in resource-limited settings is essential for optimal outcomes.
