Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an effective and safe treatment for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. The indication to TAVI should be agreed upon by a Heart Team, and the procedure should be performed in centers with on-site cardiac surgery. However, TAVI complications requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS) have become very rare. Concurrently, access disparities and prolonged waiting times are pressing issues due to increasing clinical demand of TAVI. Many solutions have been proposed and one of them is the possibility of performing TAVI in centers without on-site cardiac surgery.

Methods and design: The TRanscatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation with or without on-site Cardiac Surgery (TRACS) trial is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label study with blinded adjudicated evaluation of outcomes. Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and deemed inoperable, at high surgical risk, or presenting with at least one clinical factor compromising the benefit/risk ratio for ECS, will be randomized to undergo TAVI either in centers with or without on-site cardiac surgery. The primary endpoint will be the composite occurrence of all-cause death, stroke, and hospital readmission for cardiovascular causes at one year. The safety endpoint will include death attributable to periprocedural complications actionable by ECS. The study aims to enroll 566 patients.

Implications: The TRACS trial aims to address critical gaps in knowledge regarding the safety and efficacy of TAVI procedures performed in centers without on-site cardiac surgery, potentially improving access and outcomes for high-risk patients.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05751577.

背景:经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)已成为治疗无症状主动脉瓣狭窄患者的一种有效而安全的方法。经导管主动脉瓣植入术的适应症应得到心脏小组的同意,且手术应在有现场心脏外科的中心进行。然而,需要进行紧急心脏手术(ECS)的 TAVI 并发症已变得非常罕见。与此同时,由于 TAVI 的临床需求不断增加,就诊机会不均等和等待时间过长也是亟待解决的问题。人们提出了许多解决方案,其中之一就是在没有现场心脏手术的中心进行 TAVI:有无现场心脏手术的导管主动脉瓣植入术(TRACS)试验是一项前瞻性、随机、多中心、开放标签研究,对结果进行盲法评估。有症状的重度主动脉瓣狭窄患者被认为无法手术、手术风险高或至少有一个临床因素影响了 ECS 的获益/风险比,这些患者将被随机分配到有或没有现场心脏手术的中心接受 TAVI 治疗。主要终点是全因死亡、中风和一年后因心血管原因再次入院的综合发生率。安全性终点包括可通过 ECS 检测的围手术期并发症导致的死亡。该研究计划招募 566 名患者:TRACS试验旨在填补在没有现场心脏外科的中心进行TAVI手术的安全性和有效性方面的知识空白,从而改善高风险患者的就诊机会和治疗效果:试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05751577。

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common medical condition that is associated with clinically significant sequelae, including postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). Anticoagulation alone remains the guideline-recommended treatment for many patients with iliofemoral DVT. Recent technological advances have led to an increase in the use of mechanical thrombectomy for DVT, but mechanical thrombectomy-based procedures have not yet been compared with standard-of-care anticoagulation therapy in randomized studies.

Methods: The DEFIANCE study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05701917) is an international and actively enrolling randomized controlled trial (RCT) in lower extremity DVT assessing an interventional strategy that includes mechanical thrombectomy with the ClotTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) versus anticoagulation alone. Approximately 300 patients with unilateral iliofemoral DVT and symptom duration ≤12 weeks will be randomized 1:1. Study conduct includes an independent core laboratory for duplex ultrasound assessment, an independent medical monitor for safety adjudication, and evaluation of PTS severity on the Villalta scale using best clinical practices. The primary endpoint is a composite outcome structured as a hierarchal win ratio of 1) the occurrence of treatment failure or therapy escalation as adjudicated by the medical monitor, with failure defined as amputation or gangrene of the target leg or venous thromboembolism-related mortality, and 2) the assessment of PTS severity at the 6-month follow-up visit. In addition to being a component of the primary endpoint, the severity of PTS at 6 months is also evaluated as a stand-alone secondary endpoint. An additional secondary endpoint is a composite of outcomes at the 10-day visit and is structured as a hierarchal win ratio of 1) vessel compressibility on duplex ultrasound, 2) patient-reported pain, and 3) improvement of edema. The safety endpoints are access site complications requiring endovascular or surgical repair and the occurrence through the 30-day visit of mortality, major bleeding, or new symptomatic pulmonary embolism.

Conclusions: DEFIANCE will be the first RCT to evaluate a mechanical thrombectomy-based interventional approach versus anticoagulation therapy alone for DVT. The results will inform the treatment of patients with iliofemoral DVT and the prevention of PTS-associated morbidity.

背景:深静脉血栓形成(DVT)是一种常见的内科疾病,与包括血栓后综合征(PTS)在内的重大临床后遗症有关。对于许多髂股深层静脉血栓患者来说,仅靠抗凝治疗仍然是指南推荐的治疗方法。最近的技术进步使机械性血栓切除术在深静脉血栓形成治疗中的应用越来越多,但基于机械性血栓切除术的治疗方法尚未在随机研究中与标准抗凝疗法进行比较:DEFIANCE研究(ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT05701917)是一项国际性研究,目前正在进行下肢深静脉血栓形成的随机对照试验(RCT),评估包括使用ClotTriever系统(Inari Medical,Irvine,CA)进行机械血栓切除术与单纯抗凝治疗的干预策略。约 300 名单侧髂股深静脉血栓且症状持续时间不超过 12 周的患者将按 1:1 随机分配。研究方法包括:由独立的核心实验室进行双相超声评估,由独立的医疗监督员进行安全性判定,并采用最佳临床实践的 Villalta 量表评估 PTS 的严重程度。主要终点是综合结果,其结构为 1)医疗监控人员判定的治疗失败或治疗升级(失败定义为目标腿截肢或坏疽或静脉血栓栓塞相关死亡率)的分层胜率,以及 2)6 个月随访时的 PTS 严重程度评估。除了作为主要终点的一个组成部分外,6 个月时的 PTS 严重程度也作为一个独立的次要终点进行评估。另外一个次要终点是 10 天随访时的综合结果,其结构为 1)双相超声显示的血管可压缩性;2)患者报告的疼痛;3)水肿改善程度的分层胜率。安全性终点是需要进行血管内或外科修复的入路部位并发症,以及 30 天就诊期间的死亡率、大出血或新的无症状肺栓塞发生率:结论:DEFIANCE将是首个评估基于机械血栓切除术的介入疗法与单纯抗凝疗法治疗深静脉血栓的RCT。研究结果将为髂股深层静脉血栓患者的治疗和预防与 PTS 相关的发病率提供参考:试验注册:DEFIANCE:ClotTriever 系统与抗凝治疗深静脉血栓形成的 RCT(DEFIANCE),ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT05701917,网址:https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05701917?cond=Deep%20Vein%20Thrombosis&term=defiance&rank=1。

This cross-sectional study included 18,797 participants from six longitudinal cohorts (CARDIA, FHS Gen III, HCHS/SOL, MESA, MiHeart, and REGARDS). 5,806 of them were with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) measurements. We found that among exclusive electronic cigarette (EC) use was associated with significantly lower high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels compared to exclusive combustible cigarette use, suggesting a potentially lower inflammatory burden. hs-CRP levels in dual users and former smokers currently using EC were comparable to those observed in exclusive cigarette smokers. In contrast, individuals who exclusively used ECs showed no significant difference in hs-CRP levels compared to never smokers. These findings have important implications for tobacco regulation, public health, and clinical practice, highlighting the need for continued monitoring of EC-related health impacts.

这项横断面研究包括来自六个纵向队列(CARDIA、FHS Gen III、HCHS/SOL、MESA、MiHeart 和 REGARDS)的 18,797 名参与者。其中 5806 人进行了高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)测量。我们发现,与只使用可燃卷烟相比,只使用电子烟(EC)的人的高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)水平明显较低,这表明其炎症负担可能较低。与此相反,只使用电子烟的人与从不吸烟的人相比,hs-CRP水平没有明显差异。这些研究结果对烟草监管、公共卫生和临床实践具有重要意义,强调了持续监测与EC相关的健康影响的必要性。

Background: The management of myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation (NSTEMI) in elderly patients remains challenging, in particular the benefit/risk balance of routine revascularization remains uncertain.

Study design: EVAOLD is s a multicenter, prospective, open-label trial with 2 parallel arms in NSTEMI patients ≥ 80 years of age. The aim of the trial is to test whether a strategy of selective invasive management guided by ischemia stress imaging (IMG group) will be non-inferior in preventing Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE, ie all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke) rates at 1 year compared with a routine invasive strategy (INV Group). Geriatric assessment and cost- effectiveness analysis will also be performed. A sample size of 1756 patients (assuming a 10% rate of patients lost to follow-up) is needed to show non-inferiority with 80% power. Non-inferiority based on exponential survival curves will be declared if the upper limit of the one-sided 97.5% confidence interval for the hazard ratio is lower than 1.24, corresponding to a non-inferiority margin of 7% in absolute difference and an event rate of 40% in the INV group.

Conclusion: EVAOLD is a nationwide, prospective, open-label trial testing the non-inferiority of a strategy of selective invasive management guided by ischemia stress imaging versus routine invasive strategy in elderly NSTEMI patients.

Clinicaltrials: gov Identifier: NCT03289728.

研究背景老年无 ST 段抬高心肌梗死(NSTEMI)的治疗仍具有挑战性,尤其是常规血管重建的获益/风险平衡仍不确定:EVAOLD是一项多中心、前瞻性、开放标签试验,在年龄≥80岁的NSTEMI患者中开展2个平行臂试验。试验的目的是检验与常规有创治疗策略(INV 组)相比,缺血应激成像指导下的选择性有创治疗策略(IMG 组)在预防重大心脏和脑血管不良事件(MACCE,即全因死亡、非致死性心肌梗死、非致死性卒中)方面的效果是否优于常规有创治疗策略(INV 组)。此外,还将进行老年评估和成本效益分析。需要 1756 例患者的样本量(假设失去随访的患者比例为 10%)才能以 80% 的功率显示非劣效性。如果危险比的单侧 97.5%置信区间的上限低于 1.24,即非劣效性绝对差值为 7%,INV 组的事件发生率为 40%,则将宣布基于指数生存曲线的非劣效性:EVAOLD是一项全国范围内的前瞻性开放标签试验,检验了在缺血应激成像指导下选择性有创治疗策略与常规有创治疗策略在老年NSTEMI患者中的非劣效性:NCT03289728。

Colchicine has emerged as an effective agent for reducing ASCVD based on recent large cardiovascular outcome trials and exerts its benefit through targeting inflammation. In light of the robust body of data and FDA approval of low-dose colchicine for ASCVD prevention, this paper aimed to use the National Prescription Audit to quantify the volume and trends of colchicine prescriptions dispensed through U.S. retail pharmacies between March 2018 and February 2024. Despite a 6% increase in total monthly prescriptions since 2020, which was driven primarily by cardiologists, this specialty still represents only 2.8%-4% of the national monthly precription totals with small absolute numbers (ie estimated ∼4000 incremental prescriptions/month since 2020), suggesting limited cardiologist adoption of colchicine for ASCVD prevention despite favorable clinical trial data.
根据最近的大型心血管结果试验,秋水仙碱已成为一种有效的降低心血管急性发作危险的药物,并通过靶向炎症发挥其疗效。鉴于大量数据以及美国食品及药物管理局批准小剂量秋水仙碱用于预防 ASCVD,本文旨在利用国家处方审核系统(National Prescription Audie)量化 2018 年 3 月至 2024 年 2 月期间美国零售药店开出的秋水仙碱处方数量和趋势。尽管自 2020 年以来,每月处方总量增加了 6%,主要由心脏病专家推动,但该专科仍仅占全国每月总量的 2.8-4%,绝对数量较少(即自 2020 年以来,估计每月处方增量为 4000 个),这表明尽管临床试验数据良好,但心脏病专家采用秋水仙碱预防 ASCVD 的程度有限。

Background: The use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) remains associated with high rates of complications, weaning failure and mortality which can be partly explained by a knowledge gap on how to properly manage patients on ECMO support. To address relevant patient management issues, we designed a "Randomized Embedded Multifactorial Adaptive Platform (REMAP)" in the setting of ECMO (REMAP ECMO) and a first embedded randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effects of routine early left ventricular (LV) unloading through intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP).

Methods: REMAP ECMO describes a registry-based platform allowing for the embedding of multiple response adaptive RCTs (trial domains) which can perpetually address the effect of relevant patient management issues on ECMO weaning success. A first trial domain studies the effects of LV unloading by means of an IABP as an adjunct to veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO versus V-A ECMO alone on ECMO weaning success at 30 days in adult cardiogenic shock patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The primary outcome of this trial is "successful weaning from ECMO" being defined as a composite of survival without the need for mechanical circulatory support, heart transplantation, or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) at 30 days after initiation of ECMO. Secondary outcomes include the need for interventional escalation of LV unloading strategy, mechanistic endpoints, survival characteristics until 1 year after ECMO initiation, and quality of life. Trial data will be analysed using a Bayesian statistical framework. The adaptive design allows for a high degree of flexibility, such as response adaptive randomization and early stopping of the trial for efficacy or futility. The REMAP ECMO LV unloading study is approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the Erasmus Medical Center and is publicly registered.

Conclusion: This REMAP ECMO trial platform enables the efficient roll-out of multiple RCTs on relevant patient management issues. A first embedded trial domain will compare routine LV unloading by means of an IABP as an adjunct to V-A ECMO versus V-A ECMO alone.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05913622.

背景:体外膜氧合(ECMO)的使用仍与高并发症发生率、断奶失败率和死亡率有关,而这在一定程度上是因为在如何正确管理 ECMO 支持患者方面存在知识差距。为了解决相关的患者管理问题,我们在 ECMO(REMAP ECMO)环境中设计了一个 "随机嵌入式多因素自适应平台(REMAP)",并设计了首个嵌入式随机对照试验(RCT),调查通过主动脉内球囊反搏(IABP)进行常规早期左心室(LV)卸载的效果:REMAP ECMO 描述了一个基于注册的平台,该平台允许嵌入多个反应适应性 RCT(试验域),可持续解决相关患者管理问题对 ECMO 断流成功率的影响。第一个试验领域研究的是在重症监护室(ICU)收治的成人心源性休克患者中,通过 IABP 辅助静脉-动脉(V-A)ECMO 给左心室减压与单独使用 V-A ECMO 相比,对 30 天后 ECMO 断流成功率的影响。这项试验的主要结果是 "ECMO 成功断流",即在开始使用 ECMO 后 30 天内无需机械循环支持、心脏移植或左心室辅助装置 (LVAD) 而存活的综合结果。次要结果包括是否需要介入性升级左心室减压策略、机理终点、启动 ECMO 一年后的存活特征以及生活质量。试验数据将采用贝叶斯统计框架进行分析。自适应设计允许高度的灵活性,如响应自适应随机化和因疗效或无效而提前终止试验。REMAP ECMO LV 卸载研究已获得伊拉斯姆斯医学中心医学伦理委员会的批准,并已公开注册:结论:REMAP ECMO 试验平台可就相关的患者管理问题高效地推出多项 RCT。第一个嵌入式试验领域将通过 IABP 作为 V-A ECMO 的辅助手段,比较常规 LV 负荷与单独 V-A ECMO:试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT05913622。

Background

The Fontan operation provides lifesaving palliation for individuals with single ventricle (SV) physiology. Given recent concerns of systemic disease (SD) for patients with a Fontan circulation, we sought to (1) quantify the increase in SD incidence associated with the Fontan circulation; (2) identify the risk factor of SD; (3) assess the association between SD and mortality in patients with a Fontan circulation.

Methods

A matched retrospective cohort study design was adopted. From the Quebec Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Database with up to 35 years of follow-up, patients who survived at least 30 days after the Fontan operation were identified. For each Fontan patient, patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) with the same sex and age were identified and 20 of them were randomly selected to form the control group. The presence of SD was defined as at least 1 hospitalization due to extra-cardiac complications including liver, respiratory, gastrointestinal or renal disease. Time-to-event analysis including Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to assess the cumulative risk of SD, risk factors of SD, and the association between SD and 10-year mortality.

Results

A total of 533 patients with Fontan circulation were identified and matched with 10,280 VSD patients. The cumulative probabilities of SD at 10- and 35-years follow-up were 59.02% and 89.66% in patients with a Fontan circulation, 4 to 7 times of the probabilities in VSD patients (8.68% and 23.34%, respectively; LogRank tests P < .0001). In Fontan patients, cardiovascular complications were associated with a 4.1-fold (95% CI: 3.52-4.88) higher risk of developing SD. Multisystem disease (>1 extra-cardiac organ affected) disease was associated with a 3.38-fold (95%CI: 1.73-6.60) increase in 10-year mortality risk when comparing to the absence of SD.

Conclusions

This population-based study demonstrated that patients with a Fontan circulation had increased risk of SD, which in turn led to higher risk of mortality. These findings underscore the need for more systematic surveillance of cardiac and systemic disease for patients after Fontan operation.
背景:Fontan手术可挽救单心室(SV)生理患者的生命。鉴于近年来人们对丰坦循环患者全身性疾病(SD)的关注,我们试图:1)量化与丰坦循环相关的SD发生率的增加;2)确定SD的风险因素;3)评估丰坦循环患者SD与死亡率之间的关系:方法:采用匹配的回顾性队列研究设计。从魁北克先天性心脏病(CHD)数据库中筛选出随访时间长达35年、在丰坦手术后存活至少30天的患者。在每位丰坦患者中,随机抽取20名性别和年龄相同的孤立性室间隔缺损(VSD)患者组成对照组。心外并发症(包括肝脏、呼吸系统、胃肠道或肾脏疾病)导致至少一次住院即定义为存在室间隔缺损。通过卡普兰-梅耶曲线分析和考克斯比例危险模型等时间到事件分析,评估SD的累积风险、SD的风险因素以及SD与10年死亡率之间的关系:结果:共发现了533例Fontan循环患者,并与10280例VSD患者进行了配对。在10年和35年的随访中,Fontan循环患者发生SD的累积概率分别为59.02%和89.66%,是VSD患者的4-7倍(分别为8.68%和23.34%;LogRank检验P1心外器官受影响),与无SD相比,SD与10年死亡风险增加3.38倍(95%CI:1.73-6.60)有关:这项以人群为基础的研究表明,Fontan 循环患者发生 SD 的风险增加,进而导致更高的死亡风险。这些研究结果表明,有必要对Fontan手术后患者的心脏和全身疾病进行更系统的监测。

Introduction

Electronic health record (EHR)-embedded tools are known to improve prescribing of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for patients with heart failure. However, physicians may perceive EHR tools to be unhelpful and be hesitant to implement these in their practice.

Methods

The BETTER CARE-HF trial (NCT05275920) ran from April 28, 2022 to October 26, 2022 at NYU Langone Health outpatient clinics being seen by 180 cardiologists. The trial compared the effectiveness of an Alert during visits, Messages between visits, or usual care with the primary outcome of MRA prescribing. In this study, we sent surveys via electronic mail to cardiologists who either received an Alert or a Message during BETTER CARE-HF (60 cardiologists per survey).

Results

Of the 120 cardiologists who were sent the survey, response rate was 27% in the Alert group and 33% in the Message group. A majority of respondents in both the alert and message groups agreed that EHR tools were easy to use (Alert 79%; Message 69%), served as a reminder to prescribe therapy (Alert 77%; Message 77%;), and that the underlying evidence (Alert 86%; Message 62%) and clinical information (Alert 86%; Message 69%) were trustworthy. Overall, 54% agreed with continued use of the Alert, while 31% agreed with continued use of the Message.

Conclusion

Cardiologists perceived the EHR tools to be easy to use, helpful, and improve the overall management of their patients with heart failure.
众所周知,电子健康记录(EHR)嵌入式工具可改善心衰患者的指导性医疗疗法(GDMT)处方。然而,医生可能会认为电子病历工具没有帮助,因此在实践中犹豫不决。我们就两种有效改善心衰护理的电子病历工具对心脏病学家进行了调查,他们认为电子病历工具易于使用、有帮助并能改善心衰患者的整体管理。

Background

While there are several completed clinical trials that address treatment strategies in patients with symptomatic and recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF), there are no randomized clinical trials that address first-line rhythm control of new-onset AF. Recent data suggest that early initiation of rhythm control within 1 year can improve outcomes.

Methods

In this open-label pragmatic clinical trial nested within the Get with The Guidelines Atrial Fibrillation registry, approximately 3,000 patients with first-detected AF will be enrolled at approximately 200 sites. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to treatment with dronedarone in addition to usual care versus usual care alone. The primary endpoint will be time to first cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization or death from any cause through 12 months from randomization. Secondary endpoints will include a WIN ratio (all-cause death, ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, heart failure hospitalization, acute coronary hospitalization), CV hospitalization, and all-cause mortality. Patient reported outcomes will be analyzed based on change in Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) and change in Mayo AF-Specific Symptom Inventory (MAFSI) from baseline to 12 months.

Conclusion

CHANGE AFIB will determine if treatment with dronedarone in addition to usual care is superior to usual care alone for the prevention of CV hospitalization or death from any cause in patients with first-detected AF. The trial will also determine whether initiation of rhythm control at the time of first-detected AF affects CV events or improves patient reported outcomes.

Although guidelines recommend low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to be < 70 mg/dL in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the rate of achieving this goal remains suboptimal. We sought to understand real world contemporary practice patterns of LDL-C management in patients with ASCVD, and whether LDL-C testing influenced management across US health systems.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study utilizing electronic medical record data from five health systems participating in the CardioHealth Alliance was performed on patients with an LDL-C measurement in 2021 and prior ASCVD. Multivariable regression modeling was used to determine the relationship of clinical factors with achievement of guideline directed LDL-C target. Changes in lipid lowering therapy (LLT) after LDL-C testing were also described.

Results

Among 216,074 patients with ASCVD, 129,886 (60.1%) had uncontrolled LDL-C (i.e. ≥ 70 mg/dL). Compared with participants with controlled LDL-C (< 70 mg/dL), those with uncontrolled LDL-C were more frequently female (50.9% vs. 35.1%), or Black (13.7% vs. 10.3%), and less commonly had coronary artery disease as the form of vascular disease (73.0% vs. 83.5% %), heart failure (21.3% vs. 29.1% %), diabetes (34.1% vs. 48.2%), atrial fibrillation (19.3% vs. 26.1%), or chronic kidney disease (25.1% vs. 32.2%). In multivariable analyses, the factors most strongly associated with failure to achieve LDL-C control were female sex (RR 1.13 [95% CI 1.12-1.14] P < .001) and Black race (1.15 [1.14-1.17] P < .001). Among the 53,957 (41.5%) of those with uncontrolled LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL not on lipid lowering therapy (LLT) at baseline, only 21% were initiated on any LLT within 6 months of the uncontrolled LDL-C value.

Conclusions

Within 5 diverse large health systems in the CardioHealth Alliance, more than half of the patients with ASCVD had uncontrolled LDL-C with significant disparities based on sex and race at baseline. The vast majority were not initiated on any lipid lowering therapy within 6 months of an elevated test result indicating persistent gaps in care that will likely worsen health inequities in outcomes. This highlights the urgent need for implementation efforts to improve equitable care.
背景:尽管指南建议对低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)进行测量,但该研究并没有对其进行评估:利用参加 CardioHealth 联盟的五个医疗系统的电子病历数据,对在 2021 年测量过低密度脂蛋白胆固醇并有 ASCVD 病史的患者进行了一项回顾性队列研究。研究采用多变量回归模型来确定临床因素与实现指南指导的 LDL-C 目标之间的关系。此外,还描述了低密度脂蛋白胆固醇检测后降脂治疗(LLT)的变化:在 216,074 名 ASCVD 患者中,129,886 人(60.1%)的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇未得到控制(即≥70 mg/dL)。与低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)已得到控制的患者相比(结论:低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)未得到控制的患者占60.1%:在 CardioHealth 联盟的五个不同的大型医疗系统中,一半以上的 ASCVD 患者的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)未得到控制,且基线时的性别和种族差异显著。绝大多数患者在检测结果升高后的 6 个月内都没有开始接受任何降脂治疗,这表明护理方面的差距依然存在,很可能会加剧健康结果的不平等。这凸显了改善公平护理的迫切需要。
