Separate industry-funded studies find benefit to bempedoic acid as preventive medication, CRP as biomarker

Bempedoic acid reduced cardiovascular (CV) events among patients unwilling or unable to take statins, a trial found, while a review showed that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) was a stronger predictor for risk of future CV events and death than cholesterol in patients on statins.

New studies analyze risk factors, treatments for afib

One study found that early rhythm control was better than rate control for low-risk patients, another found that age at menarche and menopause was associated with afib risk, and another indicated that women's lower risk for afib is due to their smaller body size compared with men.
