Inclisiran sustains LDL-C reduction in high-risk patients with ASCVD

03 Dec 2021 by

Treatment with inclisiran consistently reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in patients with, or at high risk of, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), regardless of glycaemic status, based on a pooled analysis of the ORION-10* and ORION-11** studies presented at AHA 2021.

Does statin affect performance of PSA screening?

02 Dec 2021 by

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening was associated with similar decrease in incidence of advanced prostate cancer (PCa) among statin users vs nonusers, but less detection of low-grade localized tumours in the former than the latter — indicating that statin does not compromise the benefits of PSA-based screening while also conferring the benefit of less overdiagnosis of low-risk tumours.

Fimasartan noninferior to perindopril in older adults with essential hypertension

01 Dec 2021 by

In the treatment of older patients with essential hypertension, fimasartan alone or combined with hydrochlorothiazide demonstrates comparable safety and efficacy to perindopril monotherapy or in combination with indapamide, as shown in the results of a phase IIIb trial.
