Lipid management in contemporary community practice: Results from the Provider Assessment of Lipid Management (PALM) Registry.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The latest cholesterol guidelines have shifted focus from achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets toward statin use and intensity guided by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. METHODS:Statin use and intensity were evaluated in 5,905 statin-eligible primary or secondary prevention patients from 138 PALM Registry practices. RESULTS:Overall, 74.7% of eligible adults were on statins; only 42.4% were on guideline-recommended intensity. Relative to primary prevention patients, ASCVD patients were more likely to be on a statin (83.6% vs 63.4%, P<.0001) and guideline-recommended intensity (47.3% vs 36.0%, P<.0001). Men were more likely than women to be prescribed recommended intensity for primary (odds ratio [OR] 1.87, 95% CI 1.49-2.34) and secondary (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.26-1.70) prevention. In primary prevention, increasing age, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and lower 10-year ASCVD risk were associated with increased odds of receiving recommended intensity. Among ASCVD patients, those with coronary artery disease were more likely to be on recommended intensity than cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular disease patients (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.41-2.09), as were those seen by cardiologists (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.12-1.83). Median LDL-C levels were highest among patients not on statins (124.0 mg/dL) and slightly higher among those on lower-than-recommended intensity compared with recommended-therapy recipients (88.0 and 84.0 mg/dL, respectively; P≤.0001). CONCLUSIONS:In routine contemporary practice, 1 in 4 guideline-eligible patients was not on a statin; less than half were on the recommended statin intensity. Untreated and undertreated patients had significantly higher LDL-C levels than those receiving guideline-directed statin treatment.

  • Troponin T is a better predictor than creatine kinase-MB of long-term mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Elevations of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) have an uncertain long-term prognostic value after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We aimed to test the hypothesis that CK-MB and cTnT are predictors of long-term survival after CABG and to assess which of these 2 biomarkers ...
