StatinBackground and aimsStatin is not beneficial for dialysis patients but moderate to high intensity statin is beneficial for patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of moderate to high intensity statin on mortality, cardiovascular outcomes...
High-intensity statin is recommended for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and ezetimibe is recommended to be added in patients not achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets. Moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe can reduce LDL-C levels similar to high...
For high-intensity statin groups, evolocumab every 2 weeks reduced LDL-C from a baseline mean of 89 to 94 mg/dL to an on-treatment mean of 35 to 38 mg/dL; monthly evolocumab reduced LDL-C from a baseline mean of 89 to 94 mg/dL to an on-treatment mean of 33 to 35 mg/dL. ...

We sought to compare the impact of moderate intensity endurance and resistance exercise training on mitochondrial content and function between symptomatic and asymptomatic statin users, and nonstatin using control subjects. Our secondary aims examined the effect of this training program on muscle fiber co...
Conclusions An approach of high-intensity statin therapy will lead to a significant practice change, as the majority of CVD patients are not on high-intensity therapy. However, this change may be associated with a very modest reduction in statin adherence compared with low- to moderate-intensity ...
Recent studies such as the RACING trial suggest that the combination of moderate-intensity statins and ezetimibe (MIS+EZE) may achieve a greater LDL cholesterol reduction and a lower adverse event rate than high-intensity statins alone (HIS) [2]. PURPOSE. The aim of this systematic review and...
The long-term outcome of first-line moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe combination therapy for secondary prevention after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy remains elusive. The objective ...
treatment guidelines and challenges associated with high-intensity statins, and summarise the evidence on the combination therapy, moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe, which is the core strategy recommended by the 2023 Chinese Guideline for Lipid Management, as a possible primary treatment to achieve...
AIMS. To compare the effects of moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe combination therapy to high-intensity statin monotherapy based on baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. METHODS AND RESULTS. In the RACING trial, 3780 atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients ...
