ABSTRACT

A associação de uma estatina com ezetimiba é tão eficaz quanto altas doses da mesma estatina na redução do LDL-colesterol. Objetivo: comparar a ação de dois esquemas de tratamento que obtêm reduções equivalentes de LDL-colesterol (sinvastatina 80 mg ao dia e associação sinvastatina 10mg/ezetimiba 10 mg ao dia), sobre os efeitos pleiotrópicos: inflamação, função endotelial e oxidação da LDL. Métodos: estudamos 23 pacientes em cross-over. Resultados: os dois grupos apresentaram melhora da função endotelial e PCR-us, sem diferenças entre os tratamentos. Houve aumento na concentração do anticorpo anti-LDL- apenas no grupo sinvastatina.


The co-administration of a statin with ezetimibe is as effective as high doses of the same statin in the reduction of the LDL-cholesterol. Objective: compare the effectiveness of these two different treatments that obtain equivalent reductions of LDL-cholesterol (simvastatin 80 mg once a day and co-administration of simvastatin 10 mg once a day and ezetimibe 10 mg once a day), about pleiotropic effects: inflammation, endothelial function and LDL oxidation. Methods: we have studied 23 patients in cross-over. Results: the two groups presented improvement in endothelial function and high-sensitive C reactive protein, with no significative difference in any of the two treatments. The anti-LDL- antibodies concentration was increased only in the simvastatin group.
