Ultime notizie sulla terapia: Un farmaco anti-infiammatorio riduce eventi cardiovascolari maggiori

Il prof. Raffaele De Caterina spiega perché CANTOS è uno studio clinico importante. E’ il primo studio clinico che dimostra che un farmaco anti-infiammatorio influenza favorevolmente importanti eventi cardiovascolari, e pertanto può diventare una terapia da inserire nell’armamentario terapeutico in aggiunto agli attuali trattamenti.

Educational information

The CANTOS trial is the first in a series of trials that test the hypothesis that inhibiting inflammation can lower residual CV risk. The results of this trial indeed confirm this hypothesis, suggesting that from now on, targeting inflammation may need to be considered in patients on lipid-lowering therapy with residual inflammatory CV risk.

These inflammation expert opinion videos are aimed to provide guidance and perspectives on the implications of the CANTOS trial and other trials addressing inflammation in CVD. These expert views may help translate scientific findings to future clinical practice, by improving personalized CV risk management.
