production and it is also one of the most powerful antioxidants available. Unfortunately as we age our bodies have rapidly declining CoQ10 levels. Many things are responsible for depleting CoQ10 levels which include toxins, stress, aging, as well as the statin drugs (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) that Americans take for heart problems and high cholesterol.

Financial Reimbursement The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has developed the plan to move from fee for service to fee for quality. To improve quality of care, federal reimbursement programs have been initiated. For example, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) set up the Value Based Purchasing program. This program has four domains: Clinical care, patient experience, safety and efficiency (CMS, 2016). Each domain has reimbursement ties; this ensures hospitals are doing their best to provide

(LDL ~2.0 mmol/L, HDL ~1.2 mmol/L, TG and TC unknown). The recommended target values for post-MI patients are LDL-C of <2.0 mmol/L, and HDL-C <2.6 mmol/L (1 ,2). However, no clinical studies thus far have directly evaluated the benefits of titrating statin dose to achieve target values. A different fix-dose approach involves giving patients the same doses that were shown to produce clinical benefits in trials regardless of how much LDL-C reduction was achieved (1, 2). Using this approach, lipid measurements

However, the discovery of the pharmacological class, Statins of which Lipitor and Compound X belongs, which inhibits HMG CoA reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of HMG CoA to mevalonic acid, an early and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, has greatly improved the management of patients of patients with hyperlipidemia (Bertolini et.al.1997). Lipitor a Statin drug, acts by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and are used as adjunct therapy to diet to reduce the risk of

On the surface, statins, a class of drugs, appear to be a no-brainer. They inhibit the enzyme that the body uses to create cholesterol, essentially slowing down the production of cholesterol in order to prevent a build up in the arteries and causing a stroke. Consequently, they are prescribed to those who have high cholesterol levels and are at risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, a variety of studies show that this medicine is not as simple as it appears. With the CDC reporting about 25% of

disease and ensuring that administration of statins therapy leads to the desired impact is observed mainly among the patients having heart and liver diseases in the health centers. Statins are the group of drugs that help in lowering the levels low-density lipoprotein in one’s blood. The statins are responsible for blocking the substances that form cholesterol in the liver (Shehata et al, 2015). The recent incidents related to the effectiveness of the statins prompts the researchers to conduct the interventional

The results from the examination reveal slight obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, liver disease, kidney disease, and cholesterol. The problem of slight obesity can be managed with a weight loss program. Marianna has a BMI of 32 based on weight of 90kg with a height of 5”6. To this end, It is necessary to use a nutritionist, support programs, and set weight goals. She needs to have a follow up program to monitor her health care status with the weight loss. For her blood pressure

Introduction Statins are one of the most widely prescribed classes of drugs in the world. The class consists of several types of statins, which can be categorized as either type 1 or type 2. Type 1 is where the statin is derived from natural sources, mainly fungal; where as type 2 are synthetically derived. The main indication for statins is to lower cholesterol, which in turn helps management in preventing cardiovascular and heart disease (1). Statins have also been hypothesized to prevent or

Article Title/Citation:" Ezetimibe added to Statin Therapy after Acute Coronary Syndromes." New England Journal of Medicine ( June 2015) Study Objective/ Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if ezetimibe added to statin therapy can further reduce the rate of cardiovascular events. Background: Acute coronary syndromes(ACS) is a condition that block oxygen supply to the heart muscle and lead to complication such as heart attack , MI or angina. Statin therapy are known to reduce cholesterol
