ABSTRACT
Statins are the lipid-lowering drug family of first choice in situations of hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia with predominant increase in cholesterol. The evidence shows conclusively that each one of the commercially available statins have proven benefits on outcomes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, rosuvastatin has certain pharmacokinetic efficacy and cost-effectiveness characteristics that make it an attractive molecule to be the statin of choice in patients at high cardiovascular risk.
RESUMEN
Las estatinas son la familia farmacológica hipolipemiante de primera opción en situaciones de hipercolesterolemia o dislipiemia mixta con predominio de aumento en el colesterol. La evidencia demuestra contundentemente que cada una de las estatinas disponibles en el mercado ha mostrado beneficios en desenlaces de morbi-mortalidad cardiovascular. Sin embargo, la rosuvastatina presenta ciertas características farmacocinéticas de eficacia y de costo-efectividad que la hacen una molécula atractiva para ser la estatina de elección en pacientes de alto riesgo cardiovascular.
