Addressing residual risk beyond statin therapy: New targets in the management of dyslipidaemias-A report from the European Society of Cardiology Cardiovascular Round Table.
Mach F, Visseren FLJ, Cater NB, Salhi N, Soronen J, Ray KK, Delgado V, Jukema JW, Laufs U, Zamorano JL, Ros E, Plat J, Gesztes AG, Tokgozoglu L, Packard C, Libby P
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the most common cause of death in Europe. Despite proven benefits, use of lipid-lowering therapy remains suboptimal. Treatment goals are often not achieved, even in patients at high risk with atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD). The occurrence of CV events in patients on lipid-lowering drugs is defined as "residual risk", and can result from inadequate control of plasma lipids or blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, and environmental hazards. Assessment...

The impact of diabetes mellitus on foot perfusion measured by ICG NIR fluorescence imaging.
Koning S, van Kersen J, Tange FP, Kruiswijk MW, Peul RC, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Vahrmeijer AL, Hamming JF, van den Hoven P, van der Vorst JR
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease, affecting 435 million people globally. Impaired vasculature in DM patients leads to complications like lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) and foot ulcers, often resulting in amputations. DM causes additional peripheral neuropathy leading to multifactorial wound problems. Current diagnostics often deem unreliable, but Near-Infrared Fluorescence with Indocyanine Green (ICG NIR) can be used to assess the foot perfusion. Therefor...

Fortuni F, Morroni S, Biagioli P, Myagmardorj R, Viti C, Sforna S, Moscatelli S, Wu HW, Ambrosio G, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Carluccio E
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome which is due to cardiac structural and/or functional abnormalities that result in elevated intra-cardiac pressures and/or inadequate cardiac output. Hemodynamic assessment in HF allows the identification and characterization of cardiac dysfunction, systemic and/or pulmonary congestion and the eventual impairment of systemic perfusion which are fundamental to phenotype HF, risk stratify HF patients and to guide their treatment. Patient hemodynamics can be...
