PoLA/CFPiP/PCS/PSLD/PSD/PSH guidelines on diagnosis and therapy of lipid disorders in Poland 2021

2021

Pomimo 30 lat (simwastatyna została dopuszczona w 1991 przez FDA do stosowania klinicznego [1]) starań ekspertów, towarzystw i organizacji pacjenckich zaburzenia lipidowe wciąż stanowią wyzwanie diagnostyczne, ale przede wszystkim terapeutyczne. Dotyczy to zarówno właściwej oceny ryzyka pacjentów, włączenia odpowiedniego leczenia, problemów z jego adherencją, ale także problemów z tak ważnym leczeniem niefarmakologicznym – dietą, redukcją masy ciała czy regularnym wysiłkiem fizycznym [2]. Nie można także umniejszać znaczenia inercji terapeutycznej, czy to polegającej na niewłaściwie dobranej terapii (najczęściej brakiem intensywnego leczenia statynami czy jeszcze rzadziej leczenia skojarzon…

Global perspective of familial hypercholesterolaemia: a cross-sectional study from the EAS Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC)

2021

Background The European Atherosclerosis Society Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC) global registry provides a platform for the global surveillance of familial hypercholesterolaemia through harmonisation and pooling of multinational data. In this study, we aimed to characterise the adult population with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and described how it is detected and managed globally. Methods Using FHSC global registry data, we did a cross-sectional assessment of adults (aged 18 years or older) with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of probable or definite heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia at the time they were entered into the registries. Dat…

Nutraceutical approaches to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): A position paper from the International Lipid Expert Panel (ILEP)

2023

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a common condition affecting around 10–25% of the general adult population, 15% of children, and even > 50% of individuals who have type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a major cause of liver-related morbidity, and cardiovascular (CV) mortality is a common cause of death. In addition to being the initial step of irreversible alterations of the liver parenchyma causing cirrhosis, about 1/6 of those who develop NASH are at risk also developing CV disease (CVD). More recently the acronym MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease) has been preferred by many European and US specialists, providing a clearer message on the metabolic etiology of the dis…

Worldwide experience of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia:retrospective cohort study

2022

[Background]: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare inherited disorder resulting in extremely elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Current guidance about its management and prognosis stems from small studies, mostly from high-income countries. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and genetic characteristics, as well as the impact, of current practice on health outcomes of HoFH patients globally.
