Clinical insights on best medical therapy for peripheral artery disease
Patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), major adverse limb events (MALE), mortality, and future major lower extremity amputation (LEA). PAD patients with multivessel disease or relevant comorbidities such as diabetes and kidney failure are at an even higher risks for such events. [Lancet 2018;391:219-229]

Remnant cholesterol tied to CVD death in patients with T2D, CKD, diabetic nephropathy
Remnant cholesterol (C) appears predictive of mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 to 5, and incident diabetic nephropathy (DN), suggests a study.
