It is unknown whether the prognosis for individuals with familial hypercholesterolaemia has improved over the past four decades as registration of this condition has been limited worldwide. However, in Danish nationwide registries, modified ICD coding has allowed such registration since 1978. This study tested the hypothesis that age at death and coronary heart disease has improved from 1978 to 2021 in individuals with vs. those without familial hypercholesterolaemia. Methods From nationwide registries, all Danish residents were included in a retrospective cohort study. Inclusion and follow-up were from 1978 to 2021. Individuals diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolaemia were identified, and trends over time were examined for age at death and age at coronary heart disease. Results During follow-up for those with (n = 10 199) and without (n = 9 174 926) familial hypercholesterolaemia, 27% and 27% died and 34% and 9% experienced coronary heart disease. Age at death was 22 years younger in 1978 (P < .001) but similar in 2021 (P = .16) in individuals with vs. without familial hypercholesterolaemia. Although the corresponding age at coronary heart disease was 20 years younger in 1978 (P < .001), it was still 7 years younger in 2021 (P < .001) in individuals with vs. without familial hypercholesterolaemia. These results were similar in women and men and in a 1:100 matched analysis by sex, ethnicity, and time of birth. Conclusions Nationwide from 1978 to 2021 in Denmark, normalization of age at death but not age at coronary heart disease was observed for individuals diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolaemia.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142988660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Women (n = 8331) and men (n = 7638) aged ≥20 years who attended at least two of the three Tromsø Study surveys conducted between 1986 and 2001 (the exposure period) were followed up for incident AF throughout 2016 (the follow-up period). Pulse pressure ≥60 mmHg was considered elevated. Group-based trajectory modelling and Cox regression were used for statistical analyses. Results Three long-term trajectory groups for pulse pressure were identified: Group 1 had normal pulse pressure throughout the exposure period, Group 2 had normal pulse pressure at the beginning and elevated pulse pressure at the end of the exposure period, and Group 3 had elevated pulse pressure throughout. Over the follow-up period, 568 (6.8%) women and 798 (10.5%) men developed AF. After adjustment for potential confounders at baseline, the long-term trajectory groups for elevated pulse pressure were associated with increased risk of AF in women, but not in men. In women, the adjusted hazard ratios of AF were 1.60 (95% confidence interval: 1.23, 2.09) for trajectory Group 2 and 2.78 (1.93, 4.02) for trajectory Group 3, compared with Group 1. Conclusions Long-term elevated pulse pressure trajectories were independently associated with increased risk of AF in women, but not in men. Our findings call for further investigations to understand the mechanisms behind these sex-based differences.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142988661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
