Anitschkow winner 2021 – Professor Sir Rory Collins
The European Atherosclerosis Society is pleased to announce that Professor Sir Rory Collins has been awarded the 2021 Anitschkow Award. The Anitschkow Award is given for outstanding research in the field of atherosclerosis and linked metabolic disturbances.
The 2021 award recognizes the transformative national and international contributions that Professor Collins has made in investigating the causes, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Notably, studies that he led have established statins as the standard of care for managing hypercholesterolemia and saving millions of lives globally.
The award also recognizes Professor Collins for his visionary leadership of the UK Biobank, a major contributor to the advancement of modern medicine which has enabled scientific discoveries that improve human health.
New Commentary: SAMSON, SAMS and nocebo effects
Statins are foundational for the management of hypercholesterolaemia to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), as reaffirmed in the 2019 European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) lipid guidelines.
A key deterrent to the efficacious use of statin therapy, however, is statin intolerance, which contributes to treatment non-adherence and/or discontinuation, and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Management of statin intolerance is hampered by the heterogeneity of symptoms reported by patients, and the lack of internationally agreed clinical criteria, validated biomarkers or diagnostic tools.
