Partial ileal bypass (PIB) surgery is a method in the treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Since the first report in 1964 about 150 cases of FH who underwent the surgical procedure have been described. This number is very low when compared to other types of
Sirolimus is a macrolide that is extensively used in transplant clinics. The most common side effects of sirolimus are hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, rash, and well-tolerated diarrhea. Herein I have reported a case of intractable, disabling, chronic diarrhea secondary to
Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy of a 12-week treatment regimen with HEP-40 low-molecular weight chitosan given at daily doses of 1,200 mg, 1,600 mg, and 2,400 mg in reducing serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
Fluvastatin sodium (Lescol, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp., East Hanover, NJ, U.S.A.), a potent 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG Co-A) reductase inhibitor that limits cholesterol biosynthesis, is available as a 40-mg immediate-release formulation capsule. An extended-release formulation for
Lovastatin is the first 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor approved for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia. It is indicated as adjunctive therapy to dietary control and should be initiated at 20 mg/d in the evening. With higher dosages, twice-daily dosing
BACKGROUND
For patients who have above-target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels while on statin monotherapy, coadministration of a cholesterol absorption inhibitor with the statin may decrease serum LDL-C levels and improve overall lipid profiles.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the
Between 1963 and 1968, 57 patients underwent partial ileal bypass (PIB) at the University of Minnesota for primary hypercholesterolemia. Preoperative total plasma cholesterol (TC) was 363.3 +/- 136.8 mg/dL (mean +/- SD) in these patients. Baseline and follow-up TC results demonstrated highly
To evaluate the effect of hypercholesterolemic treatment on coronary artery disease in patients known to be susceptible to disease progression, 44 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease were started on a lipid-lowering diet and either probucol (1 g/day) or colestipol
Eleven patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (type IIa) were treated by partial ileal bypass. Postoperatively, mean total cholesterol levels fell by 26% at 1 month, and then rose steadily to 20% below preoperative levels of 20-24 months. The rise in cholesterol levels was due in
METHODS
The Program on the Surgical Control of the Hyperlipidemias (POSCH), a randomized clinical trial, was designed to test whether cholesterol lowering induced by the partial ileal bypass operation would favorably affect overall mortality or mortality due to coronary heart disease. The study
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare form of inherited dyslipidemia resistant to conventional cholesterol-lowering medications so that lipoprotein apheresis (LA) is usually required. Lomitapide has been approved for the treatment of HoFH. The aim of this study was to evaluate
Diet1 modulates intestinal production of the hormone, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)15, which signals in liver to regulate bile acid synthesis. C57BL/6ByJ mice with a spontaneous Diet1-null mutation are resistant to hypercholesterolemia compared with wild-type C57BL/6J mice through enhanced
The hypocholesterolemic and adverse effects of colestipol, 20 g/day, and colestipol, 10 g/day combined with probucol, 1 g/day, were compared. A double-placebo, diet-controlled, crossover trial that lasted 19 months was undertaken on 22 hypercholesterolemic patients who had low-density lipoprotein
The hypolipidemic effect of PAS-C-diet treatment was studied in 63 patients with Types IIa and IIb hyperlipoproteinemia for 6-36 months. Serum lipids and body weights of all patients were stabilized by a low cholesterol-saturated fat-refined carbohydrate diet before the initiation of an eight-week
To study the efficacy and tolerability of Daming capsule (DMC) in Chinese patients with hyperlipidemia, a randomized, multi-centre, open-label, parallel-group trial was conducted. Sixty enrolled patients with hyperlipidemia allocated to six medical centers were randomly divided into two groups of 30
