To statin or to non-statin in coronary disease--considering absolute risk is the answer.

Abstract:

:The newest guidelines for treating people with coronary artery disease (CAD) suggest benefit from statin-induced LDL cholesterol lowering regardless of baseline LDL cholesterol level. These guidelines were based on recent clinical trials that showed statistically significant statin-induced relative risk reductions (RRR) in cardiovascular events. However, there are proven "non-statin" anti-atherosclerotic treatments. This analysis was designed to allow the physician to decide which patients benefit from the various anti-atherosclerotic treatments available. Analysis is presented as absolute risk reduction (ARR) because ARR takes baseline risk into account. There was a large benefit from statin therapy in stable CAD when LDL cholesterol levels were high. There were diminishing returns, despite statistically significance, with statin treatment of people with chronic CAD and lower LDL cholesterol levels. People with chronic CAD and lower LDL cholesterol levels had at least as much and possibly twice the ARR when treated with niacin or gemfibrozil as that would occur with statin treatment. For the first year after the acute coronary syndrome, risk was higher than in stable CAD, and trials showed a benefit especially with a Mediterranean diet and also with statin therapy that reduced LDL cholesterol levels to approximately 80 mg dl(-1). The Mediterranean diet was also beneficial in chronic CAD. These results suggest that both statin and non-statin therapy are important for reducing the sequelae of atherosclerosis.

  • Selective uptake of high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesteryl esters and high-density lipoprotein particle uptake by human monocyte-macrophages.

    abstract::High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl esters (CE) are taken up by many cells without parallel uptake of HDL apolipoproteins. This selective uptake of HDL CE was investigated in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMM). HDL3 (d = 1.125-1.21 g/ml) was labeled in its apolipoprotein A-I moiety with 125I and in its CE...
