摘要
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 under-estimate rate of occurrence of these side effects in clinical practice. The development of a standardized system for description 1 a d documentation of statin-associated myopathy that includes the entire spectrum of muscle complaints wodld provide valuable data for researchers and clinicians eeking to better understand statin-induced muscle co~i plaints. Among the risk factors for myopathy are polypharmacy, high-dose statin treatment, aging, and diabetes. The etiology of statin-induced myopathy is not Well understood, but potenfial contributing mechanisms linclude decreases in mevalonate pathway products' mitochondrial dysfunction, alterations in gene expression related to apoptosis and protein degradation, and genetic predisposition.
