Impact of intensive lipid lowering on lipid profiles over time and tolerability in stable coronary artery disease: insights from a subanalysis of the coronary atherosclerosis study measuring effects of rosuvastatin using intravascular ultrasound in Japane

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have demonstrated that intensive lipid lowering using rosuvastatin results in regression of coronary plaques. However, few data exist regarding lipid profiles over time, drug tolerability, and the effects of prior use of lipid lowering agents in patients on rosuvastatin treatment. Therefore, we studied these matters in a subanalysis of the Coronary Atherosclerosis Study Measuring Effects of Rosuvastatin Using Intravascular Ultrasound in Japanese Subjects (COSMOS). METHODS:Rosuvastatin was titrated for 76 weeks to attain LDL-C < 80 mg/dL in 213 Japanese dyslipidemic patients with CAD. Clinic visits were scheduled for every 4 weeks during the 76-week study period. Changes over time in lipid parameters, changes in those according to prior lipid-lowering therapy, and changes in those according to baseline lipid levels were evaluated in this subanalysis. RESULTS:Overall, 126 patients completed the study. The mean rosuvastatin dose at the last observation carried forward was 16.9 mg (range, 2.5-20 mg). Rosuvastatin significantly increased HDL-C, lowered LDL-C, and improved the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (all, P < 0.0001). Increases in serum HDL-C levels were significantly greater in patients with HDL-C < 40 mg/dL than in those with HDL-C ≥ 40 mg/dL at baseline (P = 0.0005). The estimated glomerular filtration rate increased significantly by 2.84 ± 9.01 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (P < 0.0001). Of 166 adverse events in 74 patients, 113 events in 54 patients were laboratory values beyond the normal range. CONCLUSION:Rosuvastatin significantly improved lipid profiles, with an acceptable safety profile, contributing to plaque regression in Japanese patients with CAD.
