Abstract
Aim: Statin intolerance and myopathy is a major issue with prolonged use of statins myopathy. Bempedoic acid can be a good alternative for those intolerant to statins. This systematic review aims to observe incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and other adverse events, in high-risk statin intolerant patients receiving bempedoic acid.Methods: Literature search was conducted via Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed, after which screening, selection and data extraction of articles was done. Meta-analysis was performed on RevMan 5.4. Subgroup analysis was also conducted and heterogeneity was evaluated. Risk of bias was performed using ROB2 assessment scale. (CRD42024536827).Results: Only six randomized controlled trials were used in final analysis consisting of 17,844 patients. Treatment with bempedoic acid was associated with a reduced risk of MACE compared with placebo (RR 0.86; 95% CI [0.79, 0.94] p = 0.0005), with myocardial infarction significantly reduced. Incidence of adverse effects was increased with bempedoic acid (RR: 1.02; 95% [1.00, 1.03] p = 0.01) but no significant difference was observed. Incidence of myalgia was reduced in bempedoic group as well.Conclusion: Bempedoic acid is a safe and effective alternative to statins in high-risk patients intolerant to statins, decreasing the risk of MACE.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
