Statin myopathy: Incidence, risk factors, and pathophysiology

Abstract: 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) are generally well-tolerated lipid-lowering drugs. However, they are associated with myopathy, and incidence rates of muscle-related complaints predicted from clinical trials may underestimate rate of occurrence of these side effects in clinical practice. The development of a standardized system for description and documentation of statin-associated myopathy that includes the entire spectrum of muscle complaints would provide valuable data fo… Show more

“…Advanced age, female gender, multisystemic diseases, and multiple and/or concomitant medications have been described as risk factors for statin ADRs (27). In our study, a comparison of clinical characteristics between ADR and non-ADR groups (Table 1) showed that these risk factors do not appear to confound the genetic influence of the NR1I3 rs2307424 polymorphism, because frequencies in the groups were similar.…”

“…Известны факторы риска развития миопатии, к ко-торым относят: одновременное назначение нескольких лекарственных средств одному пациенту, особенно полипрагмазия; приём статина в высокой дозе, пожи-лой возраст пациента, сахарный диабет как сопут-ствующее заболевание [8][9][10][11]. Дополнительными фак-торами риска являются те состояния, которые делают ми-тохондрии более уязвимыми, более подверженными повреждению, например метаболический синдром, за-болевания щитовидной железы и генетические мутации, связанные с митохондриальной дисфункцией [9].…”

“…Согласно одной из гипотез, миопатия представляет собой гетерогенное состояние, которое может воз-никнуть как результат воздействия совокупности фак-торов: непосредственное действие лекарственного средства; лекарственные взаимодействия, в результа-те которых усиливается эффект статинов, зачастую вследствие ингибирования цитохрома Р450 3A4 (CYP3A4); генетических (считается, что существует ге-нетическая предрасположенность к развитию миопа-тии [8,10,15]), метаболических и иммунологических особенностей пациента [9,11,16].…”

“…Poor adherence to statins may be related to medication costs and side effects. In randomized clinical trials, myalgias are reported in 1% to 5% of patients in statin and placebo groups; [7] however, observational data with non-selected patients show higher rates of myalgias up to 20% [8]. We tested a nurse practitioner (NP) guided protocol which is aimed at reducing TC and LDL-C in women with prior statin intolerance due to myalgias.…”
