To evaluate the effects of simvastatin combined with omega-3 fatty acids on high sensitive C-reactive protein (HsCRP), lipidemia, and fibrinolysis in coronary heart disease (CHD) and CHD risk equivalent patients with mixed dyslipidemia.
A randomized, double-blind placebo controlled and parallel group trial was conducted. Patients with CHD and CHD risk equivalents with mixed dyslipidemia were treated with 10 or 20 mg simvastatin for 6-12 weeks. Following with the treatment of patients whose low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-ch) reaching goal level (< 100 mg/dL) or close to the goal (< 130 mg/dL), while triglyceride (TG) > or = 200 mg/dL and < 500 mg/dL, was combined with omega-3 fatty acids (3 g/d) or a placebo for 2 months. The effects of the treatment on HsCRP, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-ch, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-ch), TG, lipoprotein (a) [LP (a)], apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), apolipoprotein B (apoB), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) were investigated. Forty patients finished the study with each group consisting of twenty patients.
(1) There were significant reductions of HsCRP, TG, TC, and TC/HDL-ch, which decreased by 2.16 +/- 2.77 mg/L (38.5%), 94.0 +/- 65.4 mg/dL (31.1%), 13.3 +/- 22.3 mg/dL (6.3%), 0.78 +/- 1.60 respectively in the omega-3 fatty acids group (P < 0.01, < 0.001, < 0.05, < 0.05) compared to the baseline. HsCRP and triglyceride reduction were more significant in omega-3 fatty acids group compared to the placebo group (P = 0.021 and 0.011 respectively). (2) In the omega-3 fatty acids group, the values and percentage of TG reduction had a significantly positive relation with HsCRP reduction (r = 0.51 and 0.45, P = 0.021 and 0.047 respectively).
In CHD and CHD risk equivalent patients with mixed dyslipidemia, dyslipidemia's therapeutic effect using simvastatin and omega-3 fatty acids may result from not only the combination of lipid adjustment, but also enhancement of their own nonlipid influences.
评估辛伐他汀联合ω-3脂肪酸对冠心病(CHD)及CHD风险等同且伴有混合性血脂异常患者的高敏C反应蛋白(HsCRP)、血脂异常及纤维蛋白溶解功能的影响。
进行一项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的平行组试验。患有CHD及CHD风险等同且伴有混合性血脂异常的患者接受10或20mg辛伐他汀治疗6至12周。对于低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-ch)达到目标水平(<100mg/dL)或接近目标水平(<130mg/dL),而甘油三酯(TG)≥200mg/dL且<500mg/dL的患者,在后续治疗中联合ω-3脂肪酸(3g/d)或安慰剂治疗2个月。研究该治疗对HsCRP、总胆固醇(TC)、LDL-ch、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-ch)、TG、脂蛋白(a)[LP(a)]、载脂蛋白A1(apoA1)、载脂蛋白B(apoB)、纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1(PAI-1)和组织纤溶酶原激活物(tPA)的影响。40例患者完成研究,每组20例。
(1)ω-3脂肪酸组的HsCRP、TG、TC及TC/HDL-ch显著降低,与基线相比分别下降2.16±2.77mg/L(38.5%)、94.0±65.4mg/dL(31.1%)、13.3±22.3mg/dL(6.3%)、0.78±1.60(P<0.01、<0.001、<0.05、<0.05)。与安慰剂组相比,ω-3脂肪酸组的HsCRP和甘油三酯降低更显著(分别为P=0.021和0.011)。(2)在ω-3脂肪酸组中,TG降低值及降低百分比与HsCRP降低显著正相关(r分别为0.51和0.45,P分别为0.021和0.047)。
在CHD及CHD风险等同且伴有混合性血脂异常的患者中,使用辛伐他汀和ω-3脂肪酸治疗血脂异常的疗效可能不仅源于血脂调节的联合作用,还源于其自身非脂质影响的增强。
