Abstract

Compelling evidence from randomized controlled studies demonstrated the crucial role of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the prevention of vascular events. However, not all patients with low LDL-C levels show similar reduction in event rates. The residual risk factors associated with ongoing vascular events despite achieving low LDL-C levels remain to be elucidated. New data suggest that beyond statin therapy, inflammatory mediators, high non-HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol or apolipoprotein B, small dense LDL-C, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and lifestyle features may have impact on residual vascular risk. In this review, we discussed the significance of identifying these residual risk factors and developing new treatment strategies to further decrease vascular events. The importance of imaging arterial wall to evaluate the effect of various medical therapies has also stated.

Özet

Çok sayıda randomize kontrollü çalışmadan gelen veriler kardiyovasküler olayların önlenmesinde düşük-dansiteli lipoprotein (LDL) kolesterolün düşürülmesinin önemini ortaya koymuştur. Bu olumlu sonuçlara karşın LDL kolesterolü düşürülen hastaların tamamında benzer risk düşmesi sağlanamadığı ve bir grup hastanın statin tedavisine rağmen olay geçirmeye devam ettiği gözlenmiştir. Düşük LDL sağlanmasına karşın damarsal olaylara neden olabilen bu arta kalan risk faktörlerinin tespit edilmesi kritik önem taşımaktadır. Yeni veriler plak biyolojisinde etkili olan yangı aracıları, yüksek non-HDL (yüksek-dansiteli lipoprotein) kolesterol ya da apolipoprotein B, küçük-yoğun LDL, tip-2 diyabetes mellitus ve yaşam tarzı özelliklerinin arta kalan damarsal risk üzerine etkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Bu derlemede, söz konusu arta kalan risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesinin önemi ve bunlara karşı geliştirilebilecek yeni tedavi stratejilerini gözden geçirdik. Ayrıca, yeni ilaç tedavilerinin etkilerini ölçmede kullanılan arter duvarının görüntülenmesinin önemi de göz önünde bulunduruldu.
