Cost-effectiveness of Icosapent Ethyl for High-risk Patients With Hypertriglyceridemia Despite Statin Treatment

William S. Weintraub et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of Icosapent ethyl compared with standard care for high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Treatment with IPE yields more quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and better cardiovascular outcomes than standard care both in-trial and over a lifetime projection.

Summary: This study examined the benefit of Icosapent ethyl (IPE) on ischemic events among patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI) in the REDUCE-IT trial. The results showed that IPE treatment significantly reduced the primary endpoint, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization, and hospitalization for unstable angina.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the treatment effects of icosapent ethyl in patients with heart failure (HF). The results showed that icosapent ethyl reduced triglyceride and hs-CRP levels in patients with HF, and had similar cardiovascular risk reduction effects.

Matthew J. Budoff et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of IPE as an adjunct to statin therapy on atherosclerotic plaque characteristics in high-risk cardiovascular patients with persistently high triglyceride levels. The interim analysis at 9 months showed that while there was no significant change in low attenuation plaque, there was a slowing of total non-calcified plaque, total plaque, fibrous plaque, and calcified plaque in the IPE group compared to placebo.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have distinct effects on endothelial fatty acid content and nitric oxide bioavailability

Samuel C. R. Sherratt et al.

Summary: High dose treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE), an ethyl ester of omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), showed significant reduction in ischemic events in patients with cardiovascular disease or diabetes plus other risk factors. Among EPA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA), EPA treatment led to the greatest release of nitric oxide (NO) and reduction in peroxynitrite (ONOO-), indicating a preferential benefit of EPA on endothelial function and omega-3 fatty acid content.

Mechanistic Insights from REDUCE-IT STRENGTHen the Case Against Triglyceride Lowering as a Strategy for Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction

R. Preston Mason et al.

Summary: Elevated TG levels are associated with cardiovascular risk, but lowering TG does not effectively reduce this risk. New research shows that IPE can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events, possibly due to its broad pleiotropic actions on on-treatment eicosapentaenoic acid levels.

Ram D. Bhatt et al.

Summary: The REDUCE-IT trial showed a significant reduction in cardiovascular events, leading to regulatory approval of IPE in multiple countries. Additionally, a secondary analysis demonstrated a reduction in coronary artery revascularization and need for intervention and surgery. Experimental findings support the potential mechanisms behind IPE's benefits in reducing ischemic events.

EPA and DHA containing phospholipids have contrasting effects on membrane structure

Samuel C. R. Sherratt et al.

Summary: Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have distinct effects on membrane structure, with EPA increasing electron density in the hydrocarbon core region and DHA affecting the phospholipid head group region. The presence of POPC and cholesterol influences the contrasting effects of EPA and DHA. The study suggests that the differences in membrane structure induced by different omega-3 FA preparations may contribute to variations in biological activities and clinical effects.
