Abstract
Introduction We determined eligibility for icosapent ethyl (EPA) treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD). Material and methods Prospective patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD were included from 03/2019 to 12/2020. Results 574 patients were included; mean age 71 years, 81% males, with a high prevalence of other risk factors (81% hypertension). Mean LDL-cholesterol was 85 mg/dL, mean HbA1c 7.1%, mean triglycerides 148 mg/dL; 82% received statins. Based on National Lipid Association criteria, 31% would be eligible for EPA. Conclusions In this contemporary survey in consecutive, unselected CAD patients in daily practice, almost a third would be potentially eligible for EPA.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far.
The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
