Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of atorvastatin calcium on carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT)and serum lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)and homocysteine(Hey)levels in patients with atherosclerosis.Methods Patients with atherosclerosis were divided into low-dose group(atorvastatin calcium tablets,20 mg·d-1)and high-dose group(atorvastatin calcium tablets,40 mg·d-1)according to the treatment scheme.The levels of blood lipids[triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein(HDL)and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)],carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics(CIMT and plaque area),serum Lp-PLA2,ox-LDL and Hcy levels were compared between groups.Adverse drug reactions in two groups were recorded.Results There were 98 cases in low-dose group,102 cases in high-dose group.After treatment,the levels of TG in high-dose group and low-dose group were(3.75±0.59)and(5.36±0.83)mmol·L 1;the levels of TC were(4.07±0.98)and(4.52±1.02)mmol·L-1;the levels of LDL were(1.89±0.58)and(1.49±0.42)mmol·L-1;the levels of and HDL were(1.85±0.58)and(2.67±0.73)mmol·L-1;CIMT were(1.14±0.18)and(1.30±0.20)mm;plaque areas were(18.59±2.17)and(22.72±2.81)mm2;the levels of Lp-PLA2 were(116.27±28.46)and(135.74±25.03)μg·L-1;the levels of ox-LDL were(12.07±2.59)and(13.42±2.25)μg·L-1;the levels of Hcy were(11.92±3.12)and(15.21±3.06)μmol·L-1.The above indexes were significantly different between high-dose group and low-dose group(all P＜0.05).The total incidence rates of adverse drug reactions in high-dose group and low-dose group were 22.55％and 14.29％(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with low-dose atorvastatin calcium,high-dose atorvastatin calcium can better improve blood lipid level of patients with atherosclerosis,reduce plaques,inhibit inflammatory reaction and reduce the formation of atherosclerosis.The two are comparably safe.
