Lipid-lowering approaches to manage statin-intolerant patients
Statins have improved the potential to prevent cardiovascular disease events and to prolong the lives of patients. Statins, among the most widely used drugs worldwide, reduce the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by an average of 30–50%. However, non-adherence to statin therapy, due to statin intolerance, might be as high as 60% after 24 months of treatment and is associated with a 70% increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease events. Statin intolerance can be classified as a complete inability to tolerate any dose of a statin or a partial intolerance with the inability to tolerate the dose necessary to achieve the patient-specific therapeutic objective. Reasons for discontinuation are many, with statin-associated muscle symptoms being cited as the most frequent reason for stopping therapy and the incidence of muscle symptoms increasing with treatment intensity. Considering the causal effect of LDL-C in the atherosclerotic process, clinicians should consider that regardless of the lipid-lowering drugs patients are willing to take, any reduction in LDL-C they achieve will afford them some benefit in reducing cardiovascular risk. Besides statins, the current therapeutic armamentarium offers different strategies to reach LDL-C targets in statin-intolerant patients (i.e. a fixed combination between a lower dose of statin plus ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition).
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal Supplements (EHJs) is a long standing member of the ESC Journal Family that serves as a publication medium for supplemental issues of the flagship European Heart Journal. Traditionally EHJs published a broad range of articles from symposia to special issues on specific topics of interest.
The Editor-in-Chief, Professor Roberto Ferrari, together with his team of eminent Associate Editors: Professor Francisco Fernández-Avilés, Professors Jeroen Bax, Michael Böhm, Frank Ruschitzka, and Thomas Lüscher from the European Heart Journal, has implemented a change of focus for the journal. This entirely refreshed version of the European Heart Journal Supplements now bears the subtitle the Heart of the Matter to give recognition to the focus the journal now has.
The EHJs – the Heart of the Matter intends to offer a dedicated, scientific space for the ESC, Institutions, National and Affiliate Societies, Associations, Working Groups and Councils to disseminate their important successes globally.
