Higher triglyceride glucose index linked to increased risk of cognitive decline

A meta-analysis found a strong association between higher TyG index levels and increased risk of cognitive decline, particularly in younger adults, men, and Asian populations, suggesting its potential as a useful marker for cognitive health monitoring.

Substantial Triglyceride Reduction With Plozasiran

In patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia who are at risk for acute pancreatitis, the drug brought about triglyceride reductions of more than 50% in the phase 2 SHASTA-2 study.

New Study Links Higher Levels of a Certain Type of Fat to a Decreased Risk of Dementia
A recent study suggests that older individuals with higher triglyceride levels may have a reduced risk of developing dementia and experience slower cognitive decline than those with lower levels. The research involved 18,294 participants, and its findings were supported by a separate U.K. dataset. cognitive issues were studied.

One in three #SouthAsians with #ASCVD on statins are eligible for icosapent ethyl (IPE). IPE should be considered for this high-risk population.
Story I wrote for the #MedicalPost. (Sorry, password protected for #doctors and #pharmacists).

Highlights:
A third of South Asians in Canada with known atherosclerotic #cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and who take #statins would qualify to get additional treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE).

This is a significant-sized population who could benefit from the additional lowering of triglycerides using IPE, according to a study presented at the recent annual meeting of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (#CCS). This year’s CCS had 1,400 in-person delegates, over 350 online delegates and 130 sessions.

However, a major study, the REDUCE-IT trial driving the use of IPE had very few non-white participants, according to a poster abstract presented by Canadian researchers.

IPE is a highly purified preparation of #eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia (500 mg/dL and over). It is used as an adjunct to statin therapy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people whose serum #triglyceride levels are over 150 mg/dL.
