Balance of non-Lp(a) apoB and Lp(a) with Coronary Plaque Phenotypes and MACE: Insights from PROSPECT II and CASABLANCA.

AIMS Apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins contribute heterogeneously to atherosclerosis. While apoB particles are major determinants of plaque burden, Lp(a) has been linked to plaque inflammation and instability. We investigated the associations of non-Lp(a) apoB, Lp(a), and their relative balance with coron...

Economic evaluation of NT-proBNP testing plus standard clinical assessment versus standard clinical assessment alone for the prevention of heart failure in older adults with type 2 diabetes

Abstract Introduction N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) testing for early heart failure (HF) detection in asymptomatic older adults with diabetes in the USA remains limited despite guideline recommendations. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of incorporating NT-proBNP testing into routine...
