In all circumstances regarding diagnostics the patient has to be his own advocate and make demands of reluctant clinicians.

The alarming rise in CVD deaths in recent years reinforces the importance of our work. Our R&D efforts are dedicated to combatting this trend by helping more patients reach and maintain their LDL-C goals. bit.ly/49UPoJz

I keep reminding everyone that perhaps the most unbreakable record in sports is having someone beat Johnny Vander Meer's (the pride of Prospect Park, NJ - a Paterson Suburb) two consecutive no hitters in 1938. The second one was the first night game ever played in Ebbet's Field.

📣 If you are interested in lipids, lipoproteins, and metabolism, you should plan to attend the 47th Meeting of the EAS European Lipoprotein Club (ELC) during the first half of September. Make sure to submit your abstract by April 24, 2024: eas-elc.org/abstract-submi… Prof Kausik Ray FMedSci

Such a privilege for me to be part of the prestigious European Atherosclerosis Society - I will be commenting on the meeting from this side of the pond 🧐 National Lipid Association

EAS and NLA are joining forces for an insightful session on “From A to B, then Back to LDL: Transatlantic Views on the Lipoproteins that Cause Plaque”. Join us for a deep dive into lipoproteins and plaque formation at the #EASCongress2024 ➡️ bit.ly/4d2miLq

ADVANCED LIPOPROTEINOLOGY - For those who truly think cholesterol and cholesterol homeostasis is 'easy,' think again. There is complexity regarding exchange of neutral (inert) lipids between circulating lipoproteins. These processes are mediated by lipid transfer proteins: (1)

Some basic cholesterol biochemistry as it relates to clinical lipidology - note the crucial differences between free & esterified cholesterol. Crucial for its positioning on/within lipoproteins and ability to be exchanged for TG between particles National Lipid Association European Atherosclerosis Society

Of interest is the TG of 177 being colored yellow when that value is the 75th percentile population cut point. The lab needs to update its reference ranges. Basically it is behind all of the many lipoprotein (the red NMR abnormalities reported metrics) National Lipid Association

Luckily when active I have been in very advanced practices. Recently I was asked 'what is my current 'treatment algorithm' recommendation. Here are both my risk assessment and treatment advice. I realize the vast majority of clinicians (sadly) are not doing sterol markers and not

Important study and info

Some Lp(a) education. I have found many clinicians are confused when they hear about 'small Lp(a) particles.' The 'small' refers to the lower molecular weight (hence smaller than the higher MW) isoforms of apoprotein (a). 'Size' does not refer to the diameter of the LDL moiety of

Elevated lipoprotein (a) #LPa is actionable now! Pleased to have contributed to this important review & guide for clinicians about actionable strategies for risk mitigation, out now in AJPC. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
