Erwin Loh: Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events With Evolocumab in High-Risk Patients With Diabetes
Erwin Loh, Director of Medical Services at Peninsula Private Hospital, Ramsay Health Care, President at Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Nicholas A. Marston et al, adding:
“Targeted cholesterol-lowering therapy can prevent first heart attack or stroke in high-risk patients with diabetes
Researchers found that the intensive cholesterol‑lowering therapy evolocumab reduced the risk of a first major cardiovascular event in high‑risk patients who did not have known atherosclerosis (the build-up of plaque inside artery walls) but did have diabetes.
Results were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session and Expo and simultaneously published in JAMA.”
