Association Between Serum Bilirubin, Lipid Levels, and Prevalence of Femoral and Carotid Atherosclerosis: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Qingling Su et al.

Summary: This study found that increased serum bilirubin levels are inversely associated with the prevalence of carotid or femoral atherosclerosis. LDL and cholesterol may mediate these associations.

Addressing dyslipidemic risk beyond LDL-cholesterol

Alan R. Tall et al.

Summary: Although LDL-lowering drugs have been successful in reducing cardiovascular disease, there is still a high burden of residual disease caused by persistent dyslipidemia. This dyslipidemia is increasing globally due to the rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome. New approaches, such as inhibiting APOC3 and ANGPTL3, have emerged for treating this condition. However, large clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the efficacy of these approaches.

Global epidemiology of dyslipidaemias

Angela Pirillo et al.

Summary: Dyslipidaemias are alterations to the plasma lipid profile associated with clinical conditions, with high cholesterol being the most common form and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Treating lipid abnormalities may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes.
