Abstract:
Statins are a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs for effectively reducing the risk of cardiovascular events,including myocardial infarction and stroke.Clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown that the treatment with statins may increase the risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus.This article reviews the evidence of statins inducing diabetes mellitus,the possible mechanisms,and clinical significance.
