High-dose atorvastatin and rosuvastatin reduce neutrophil extracellular traps-related proteins in coronary artery disease: association with prothrombotic state.
Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is involved in atherothrombosis. ⋯ We showed for the first time that high‑dose statins can reduce the level of NET‑related proteins in association with anti‑inflammatory and antithrombotic actions in CAD patients.

ReviewHow to better prevent sudden cardiac death? Recent advances.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a global public health problem. Despite efforts of the scientific community, it is characterized by low survival (<10%). ⋯ At the population level, efforts are concentrated on prevention of ischemic heart disease, as it is responsible for over 70% of sudden mortality cases in adults, and on development of resuscitation and early defibrillation programs. Much still needs to be done to improve survival by raising awareness in the population through training initiatives and by optimizing available technologies and making them more accessible.
