Residual cardiovascular risk of lipid origin. Components and pathophysiological aspects
Abstract There is no doubt about the relationship between LDL-C and cardiovascular risk, as well as about the benefits of statin treatment. Once the objective of LDL-C has been achieved, the evidences that demonstrate the persistence of a high cardiovascular risk, a concept called residual risk, are notable. The residual risk of lipid origin is based on atherogenic dyslipidemia, characterised by an increase in triglycerides and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, a decrease in HDL-C and qualitative alterations in LDL particles. The most commonly used measures to identify this dyslipidemia are based on the determination of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, non-HDL cholesterol and remaining …
Triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and atherogenic dyslipidaemia in the 2019 European guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias.
In general, both European and American clinical guidelines have addressed the management of atherogenic dyslipidaemia in an unconvincing and even superficial way, largely because of the available therapeutic limitations. Consequently, this type of dyslipidaemia is underdiagnosed, under-treated, and under-controlled. Given the recent presentation of the 2019 guidelines of the European Atherosclerosis Society and the European Society of Cardiology on the management of dyslipidaemias, it seems appropriate to examine its position with respect to atherogenic dyslipidaemia and/or its main components, the increase in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and the decrease of high-density lipoprotein chol…

Enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico, asociación con la enfermedad cardiovascular y tratamiento (II). Tratamiento de la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico
Disease nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a series of histologically similar to those induced by alcohol consumption in people with very little or no liver damage same. The importance of NAFLD is its high prevalence in our Western societies, from the point of view liver in its progressive evolution from steatosis to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. During the last decade it has been observed that NAFLD leads to an increased cardiovascular risk with accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This updated January 2016 revision consists of two parts. In this second part, the treatment of NAFLD and its influe…
La auténtica dimensión del colesterol-no-HDL: colesterol aterogénico
Lowe density lipoproteins (LDL) are the causal agent of cardiovascular diseases. In practice, we identify LDL with cholesterol transported in LDL (cLDL). So, cLDL has become the major target for cardiovascular prevention. Howewer, we have progressive evidences about the role of triglycerides rich lipoproteins, particularly those very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in promotion and progression of atherosclerosis, that leads cholesterol in VLDL and its remanents as a potential therapeutic target. This feature is particularly important and of a great magnitude, in patients with hypertiglyceridemia. We can to considere, that the non-HDL cholesterol -cLDL+cVLDL+c-remmants+Lp(a)- is the real meas…

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a series of histologically lesions similar to those induced by alcohol consumption in people with very little or no liver damage. The importance of NAFLD is its high prevalence in the Western world and, from the point of view of the liver, in its gradual progression from steatosis to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. During the last decade it has been observed that NAFLD leads to an increased cardiovascular risk with acceleration of arteriosclerosis and events related to it, being the main cause of its morbidity and mortality.

Riesgo cardiovascular residual de origen lipídico. Componentes y aspectos fisiopatológicos
Resumen Es indudable la relacion del cLDL y el riesgo cardiovascular, asi como de los beneficios del tratamiento con estatinas. Una vez conseguido el objetivo de cLDL, son notables las evidencias que demuestran la persistencia de un elevado riesgo cardiovascular, concepto denominado riesgo residual. El riesgo residual de origen lipidico se fundamenta en la dislipidemia aterogenica, caracterizada por un aumento de trigliceridos y de las lipoproteinas ricas en trigliceridos, un descenso del cHDL y alteraciones cualitativas de las particulas LDL. Las medidas mas utilizadas para identificar esta dislipidemia se basan en la determinacion de colesterol total, trigliceridos, HDL, colesterol no HDL…
Control del perfil lipídico global
Resumen Se revisa la importancia del control lipidico global en la prevencion cardiovascular. Diversos estudios y metaanalisis demuestran que el control del colesterol LDL mantiene aun un elevado riesgo cardiovascular, que se relaciona con la presencia de lipoproteinas ricas en trigliceridos, y por ello con aumento de los trigliceridos plasmaticos y de los valores de apolipoproteina B que contienen estas lipoproteinas. La importancia de esta relacion se debe al cambio ocurrido en los ultimos anos en el perfil lipidico de nuestra poblacion, relacionado con el aumento de obesidad y de resistencia a la insulina; este perfil se denomina dislipidemia aterogenica. Asi, la hipertrigliceridemia deb…

Los fibratos en la prevención primaria de la enfermedad cardiovascular. Comentarios a los resultados de una revisión sistemática de la Colaboración Cochrane
Resumen Los fibratos son un grupo de hipolipidemiantes que reducen los trigliceridos, elevan las lipoproteinas de alta densidad y disminuyen la fraccion de particulas de LDL pequenas y densas. Recientemente, se han publicado los resultados de un estudio de la Colaboracion Cochrane sobre su eficacia y seguridad en la prevencion primaria de la enfermedad cardiovascular. Este estudio incluye una revision sistematica y un metaanalisis de 6 estudios (16.135 pacientes) que evaluan, en personas en prevencion primaria, los beneficios clinicos de los fibratos comparados con el uso de un placebo o de otros hipolipidemiantes. Concluyen que, comparados con placebo, los fibratos son utiles para reducir …
Colesterol-no HDL como objetivo terapéutico
Although cholesterol linked to low-density lipoproteins (c-LDL) is well established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, there is often a more complex dyslipidaemia pattern that contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Non-HDL cholesterol (c-NO-HDL) is used to estimate the total amount of atherogenic lipoproteins in plasma, some of which are not usually determined in daily clinical practice. c-NO-HDL is easily calculated from the subtraction of total plasma cholesterol from the cholesterol content carried by high density lipoproteins. The c-NO-HDL has a predictive value superior to that of C-LDL to estimate the risk of major cardiovascular events in epidemiological st…

Fibrates in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Comments on the results of a systematic review of the Cochrane Collaboration
Abstract Fibrates are drugs that reduce triglycerides, elevate high-density lipoproteins, as well as decrease small, dense LDL particles. The results of a study have recently been published by the Cochrane Collaboration on fibrates efficacy and safety in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. This study includes a systematic review and a meta-analysis of 6 studies (16,135 patients) that evaluated the clinical benefits of fibrates compared to placebo use or other lipid-lowering drugs. This review showed evidence of a protective effect of the fibrates compared with placebo as regards a reduction 16% of a compound objective of death due to cardiovascular disease, non-fatal myocardia…
