Understanding the molecular mechanisms of statin pleiotropic effects
Arch Toxicol. 2023 Apr 21. doi: 10.1007/s00204-023-03492-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStatins represent the cornerstone of pharmacotherapy for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. These medications not only reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) via inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate attached to CoA reductase, the key rate-limiting step in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, but also upregulate expression of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, improving serum clearance. Given LDL-C is a causal risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis, these complementary mechanisms ...

Is there benefit to adding ezetimibe to a statin for the secondary prevention of CVD?
J Fam Pract. 2023 Jun;72(5):227-229. doi: 10.12788/jfp.0610.ABSTRACTYES. In patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD), ezetimibe with a statin decreases major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) but has no effect on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, compared to a statin alone (strength of recommendation [SOR], A; meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs] including 1 large RCT). In adults with atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD), the combination of ezetimibe and a moderate-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 10 mg) was noninferior at decreasing cardiovascular death, major cardiovascular events, and nonfatal stro...
