| Core Tip |
This review aims to provide a practical, up-to-date resource on the utility of colchicine in atherosclerotic disease and is intended for cardiologists who confront the daily challenge of mitigating systemic inflammation in cardiovascular patients. Current guidelines support its use to reduce recurrent cardiovascular events, yet recent findings have questioned its benefit in acute settings. This highlights the need for clinicians to balance established recommendations with emerging evidence when considering colchicine as part of long-term cardiovascular risk management. |
