Cardiovascular (CV) risk remains in some patients who are treated with statins. Evidence supports a role for triglycerides (TGs) in CV disease. TG-lowering agent outcomes studies have been inconsistent, but eicosapentaenoic acid significantly reduced coronary events in hypercholesterolemic patients who were treated with statins. Ongoing outcomes studies will clarify the role of TG-lowering treatments in CV risk reduction.
接受他汀类药物治疗的部分患者仍存在心血管（CV）风险。有证据支持甘油三酯（TGs）在心血管疾病中起作用。降低TG药物的疗效研究结果并不一致，但二十碳五烯酸可显著降低接受他汀类药物治疗的高胆固醇血症患者的冠状动脉事件。正在进行的疗效研究将阐明降低TG治疗在降低CV风险中的作用。
