Statin treatment to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with the prevention of cardiovascular events in Western patients. Similar results have been reported in studies conducted in Japan. However, the dose of statins and the degree of LDL-C reduction achieved with statins are different between Asian and Western patients. In addition, there are limited data regarding racial differences in response to statins. In this review, racial differences between Asians and Westerners in response to statins are described.
使用他汀类药物治疗以降低低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)与预防西方患者心血管事件相关。在日本进行的研究也报告了类似结果。然而,亚洲患者和西方患者使用他汀类药物的剂量以及他汀类药物实现的LDL-C降低程度有所不同。此外,关于他汀类药物反应的种族差异的数据有限。在本综述中,描述了亚洲人和西方人对他汀类药物反应的种族差异。
