Resumen

El tratamiento con estatinas reduce el riesgo relativo de presentar un episodio coronario en alrededor de un 30%, persistiendo, por lo tanto, un elevado riesgo residual. Hay datos procedentes de estudios epidemiológicos, angiográficos y de intervención que sugieren que el incremento del colesterol unido a lipoproteínas de alta densidad (cHDL) podría reducir el riesgo residual. Aproximadamente, 1 de cada 4 pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica crónica presenta valores de cHDL bajos, independientemente del empleo de estatinas, siendo más frecuentes en mujeres, diabéticos y pacientes con criterios de síndrome metabólico. Por lo tanto, un alto porcentaje de pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica crónica se podría beneficiar de intervenciones dirigidas a elevar el cHDL.

Abstract

Statin treatment reduces the relative risk of a coronary event by approximately 30% and consequently a high residual risk persists. Data from epidemiological, angiographic and intervention studies suggest that this residual risk could be reduced by increasing highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). Approximately one out of every four patients with chronic ischemic heart disease has low HDL-c concentrations, independently of the use of statins. In this population low HDL-c levels are most frequent in women, patients with diabetes and those with criteria of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, a high percentage of patients with chronic ischemic heart disease could benefit from interventions aimed at increasing HDL-c levels.
