Statins in Atherothrombosis

Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2004
Clinical studies have shown that hydroxy-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) may favorably affect atherothrombosis. In addition to their potent cholesterol-lowering properties, statins reduce atheroma progression as well as the incidence of acute thrombosis-related vascular events and their dreadful clinical consequences ...

Statins and the Liver

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2015
Lipid lowering, particularly with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors ("statins"), reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Patients with chronic liver disease present challenges to the use of lipid medications. In the case of most liver disorders, the concern has been one of safety.

Statins and Diabetes

Cardiology Clinics, 2015
A statin is first-line drug therapy for dyslipidemia. Clinical trial data suggest there is an increase in the incidence of new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus with statin use. The National Lipid Association (NLA) Statin Diabetes Safety Task Force concluded that the cardiovascular benefit of statin therapy outweighs the risk for developing diabetes.

Statins And Stroke

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
Pharmacological studies highlighted pleiotropic effects of statins, that seem to influence atherogenesis not only by increasing atherosclerotic plaque stability but also by modulating endothelial function and inflammation and acting on platelet aggregation and thrombosis.

All for Statins and Statins for All; An Update

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2015
Statins exert beneficial effects on cardiovascular [CV] outcomes as well as on inflammation and oxidative stress. The widespread use of statins for both primary and secondary CV disease prevention is based on the evidence from large randomized controlled trials. The benefits of statin treatment outweigh any harm in high risk patients. In this narrative

Statins and Inflammation

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2021
Chronic inflammation has been recognized as one of the most important pathophysiological mechanisms' initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Statins belong to most successful therapeutic agents in the prevention and treatment of atherothrombotic vascular disease.

Statins and Cancer

Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
Statins have pleiotropic properties and might exert an effect even in the field of cancer. Statins competitively inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase, the major rate-limiting enzyme that controls the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid.
