JAMA Cardiology: Gender Disparities in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Treatment for Young Patients

April 21, 2021 HOUSTON – (April 21, 2021) – Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have found that those 55 and younger are not treated as aggressively, and women receive less than optimal preventative care when compared to men among this group of young patients with ASCVD. The study, one of the largest to date published in JAMA Cardiology¸ reviewed medical records of 147,600 veterans with premature ASCVD, which includes patients who suffered from heart disease, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease at a young age. The investigators found that not only were women significantly less likely to receive antiplatelets, statin or high-intensity statin therapies, they also were less likely to adhere to their statin therapy regimen when compared with men.

Young Women Left Behind in Secondary Prevention of ASCVD

email article Among patients with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), women were less likely to receive key secondary prevention therapies, a VA healthcare system-based study showed. Of those with ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral arterial disease by age 55, it was found that women were less likely to receive antiplatelets, any statins, and high-intensity statins, revealing sex disparities in cardiovascular care within the VA system. Additionally, women with premature ischemic heart disease were particularly less adherent to their statins compared with men, whereas there were no sex-associated differences in statin adherence among other ASCVD groups, reported Salim Virani, MD, PhD, of the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, and colleagues in findings published in

Is Dan Crenshaw OK? Texas Republican who lost right eye in Afghanistan virtually blind after surgery on left

“The blast from 2012 caused a cataract, excessive tissue damage, and extensive damage to my retina. It was always a possibility that the effects of the damage to my retina would resurface, and it appears that is exactly what has happened. This is a terrifying prognosis for someone with one eye. The prognosis I received on Thursday is obviously very bad,” Crenshaw said in a statement.   The 37-year-old underwent surgery at the Michael E DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston on Friday, April 9. He also said his “congressional offices” in Washington DC and Houston will continue to operate and any constituent needing assistance with casework can still call his offices for help.
