In @JAMACardio, we compare cardiovascular hospitalization rates in the US 🇺🇸 to another high-income country w/ a universal health system - Denmark 🇩🇰

CV hospitalizations were 1.5X ⬆️ US vs Denmark, driven by MI & HF. Income-based gaps also greater in 🇺🇸

1/20: 50 y/o M with HTN & a family history of premature CAD presents to discuss the results of his labs. His Lp(a) is 200 nmol/L. His 10-year ASCVD risk based on the pooled cohort equation is 9.1%. What does his elevated Lp(a) level signify? How should your management change?

[Pradeep Natarajan @pnatarajanmd]

Two important implications of this NHANES-based paper from @ShoaClarke @blakewthomson @StanfordMed. For younger adults (20-39yo), (1) current risk prediction is woefully insufficient, and (2) when elevated risk is recognized, there needs to be markedly better implementation of statins https://t.co/Qx677piemk
