The Utility of Anti-Inflammatory Agents in Cardiovascular Disease: A Novel Perspective on the Treatment of Atherosclerosis.

Abstract:

:Approximately 40% of heart attack survivors remain at increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events, despite the current treatment options showing that atherothrombosis is not exclusively a disorder of lipoprotein aggregation in the arterial wall. Clinical and experimental data suggest that inflammation plays an important role in atherothrombosis independent of the cholesterol level. Acute-phase reactants, such as C-reactive protein, increase in patients with coronary artery disease and are known to predict adverse outcomes in such patients. The recent CANTOS trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine provides evidence that interleukin-1β along with other cytokines play central roles in the inflammatory reaction that drives the interleukin-6 signaling pathway and have profound effects on cardiovascular outcomes. Several other ongoing studies are focused on multiple immune mediators involved in this process to support the inflammatory hypothesis of cardiovascular diseases. These new classes of drugs could represent the biggest breakthrough in cardiovascular medicine, which could have the greatest impact on cardiovascular mortality since the advent of statins. The drug canakinumab has shown promise in lowering atherosclerosis, and other drugs, such as colchicine and methotrexate, are gaining interest and are being investigated in multiple ongoing trials. A major concern is the affordability of these drugs, as most cardiovascular diseases are noted among people of lower socioeconomic statuses. The LoDoCo trial showed some benefits of colchicine, and whether this old drug can be marketed with a new label for cardiovascular disease remains in question. Therefore, a clear understanding of the different inflammatory pathways involved in atherosclerosis is needed to help develop more effective treatment modalities that will benefit humankind.
