Due to the achievements of pharmacological therapy the strict control of the low and very low density lipoprotein’s levels is achieved. However, atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular diseases still remain one of the leading non-infectious cardiovascular pathologies

This article discusses the practical aspects and challenges of non-invasive echocardiographic diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH). An algorithm for assessing echocardiographic probability of PH is presented. Situations connected with difficult or incorrect assessment of

Hypertriglyceridemia is a widespread polyetiological dyslipidemia, characterized by an increased residual risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. This review of the scientific literature presents current postulates regarding the relationship between the

Numerous scientific and practical data indicate the role of systemic insulin resistance (hyperinsulinemia) in pathogenesis of age-associated cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including heart failure, atherosclerotic diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus.

We believe that there is sufficient evidence from basic science, longitudinal cohort studies and randomised controlled trials which validates the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL–C) or lipid hypothesis. It is important that we can communicate details of the

With increasing age, the cardiovascular risk increases, as does frailty, with negative health consequences such as coronary disease, stroke, and vascular dementia. However, this aging process seems to take a more rapid course in some individuals, as reflected in the Early

Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), unlike patients with type 2 DM, have an earlier age of the pathology onset and by the age of 40 have a long history of the disease with the development of micro- and macrovascular complications. It should be noted that chronic
