ABSTRACT

This is a remarkable progress; since the finding of statins, there was no new way of reducing, significantly, cholesterol and LDL fraction. It is also clear that this decrease, by statins, is related to future cardiovascular lesions, being useful in its primary and secondary prophylaxis. The authors presented studies on research to promote the falling of blood cholesterol by means of antibodies, which inhibit the pro-protein PCSK9, as well as agents that act performing the RNA interference. We had two advantages immediately: for patients with myopathy associated with statins, and the fact of being injected every 15 days, that may contribute to better treatment adherence.


Este é um progresso sensível; desde a descoberta das estatinas, não havia novas maneiras de diminuir, de maneira significativa, o colesterol e a fração LDL. Também está claro que essa redução, pelas estatinas, tem relação com futuras lesões cardiovasculares, sendo útil na profilaxia primária e secundária destas. Os autores apresentaram estudos sobre pesquisas para promover a queda do colesterol sanguíneo por meio de anticorpos que inibem a pró-proteína PCSK9, bem como agentes que atuam realizando a interferência no RNA. Duas vantagens se afiguram imediatamente: para pacientes que têm a miopatia relacionada às estatinas e por ser droga injetável a cada 15 dias, o que pode colaborar para maior adesão ao tratamento.
