Mashup Score: 11Development and validation of clinical criteria to identify familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) in North America - 26 day(s) ago
Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is an ultrarare inherited disorder. Genetic testing is not always feasible or conclusive. European clinicians developed a “FCS score” to differentiate between FCS and multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS), a more common condition with overlapping features. A diagnostic score has not been developed for use in the North American context.

Despite the availability of multiple classes of lipoprotein-lowering medications, some high-risk patients have persistent hypercholesterolemia and may require nonpharmacologic therapy. Lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is a valuable but underused adjunctive therapeutic option for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) lowering, particularly in children and adults with familial hypercholesterolemia. In addition to lipid lowering, LA reduces serum levels of proinflammatory and prothrombotic factors, reduces blood viscosity, increases microvascular myocardial perfusion, and may provide beneficial effects on endothelial function. Multiple observational studies demonstrate strong evidence for improved cardiovascular outcomes with LA; however, use in the United States is limited to a fraction of its Food and Drug Administration–approved indications. In addition, there are limited data regarding LA benefit for refractory focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In this scientific statemen

This special series of Diabetes Core Update is supported by an independent educational grant from Amarin Corp. For more than 30 years, statins have been the cornerstone of lipid management to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart-related events. These medications have been proven to effectively lower LDL cholesterol levels and CVD risk in a wide array of patient populations. But even after patients meet their LDL cholesterol goals, the risk for CVD-related events isn’t completely
