Abstract
Lovastatin was investigated in a single-blind placebo-controlled trial in 150 patients with coronary atherosclerosis confirmed by coronary angiographic studies and those with nonfamilial hyperlipoproteinemia. After 3 months of treatment total cholesterol (TC) level was reduced by 36% (p less than 0.001), LDL cholesterol level by 48% (p less than 0.001), triglycerides level by 19% (p less than 0.001), VLDL cholesterol by 24% (p less than 0.01), whereas the HDL-cholesterol level was increased by 36% (p less than 0.001). Besides, concentration of apolipoprotein A-I increased by 19% (p less than 0.05), apolipoprotein B decreased by 22% (p less than 0.05) and the ratios of LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and TC/HDL cholesterol decreased by 64% and 56%, respectively (p less than 0.001). The side effects of lovastatin were negligible. Thus, lovastatin is a highly effective and well tolerated hypolipidemic drug for the treatment of patients with IHD and hyperlipoproteinemia.
