The natural history of atherosclerosis might involve coronary plaque rupture/erosion, thrombus formation and vessel lumen occlusion, clinically recognized as acute coronary syndrome (ACS). International guidelines strongly recommend early statin administration in patients admitted for ACS. In addition to lowering circulating levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐c), statin treatment was shown to promote plaque stabilization or regression in several ways, including reduction in…

TLDR
In the present case after re-challenge with similar group of drug patient again developed the symptoms and underlying hyperlipidemia was effectively controlled with Fenofibrates.
CORONARY INTERVENT IONS
TLDR
This review aims to provide an overview of the landscape of lipidlowering therapy for the purpose of secondary prevention by summarising recommendations derived from contemporary guidelines and highlighting the rationale and evidence behind the three main lipid-lowering therapies, namely statins, ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors.
Acute Myocardial Infarction Occurring at a Preexisting Intermediate Coronary Artery Stenosis
TLDR

PCSK9 inhibitors for treating hypercholesterolemia
TLDR
The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize the current knowledge of PCSK9-i, with particular regard to pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and clinical data on evolocumab and alirocumab.

Association of Statin Therapy with Outcomes of Acute Coronary Syndromes: The GRACE Study
TLDR
Analysis of data from a large, international observational study of acute coronary syndromes identified associations between statin use before and during acute coronary events and favorable outcomes, and examined the effect of early in-hospital statin therapy on important hospital outcomes, including death or the development of recurrent MI or stroke.

Withdrawal of Statins Increases Event Rates in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes
TLDR
Statin pretreatment in patients with acute coronary syndromes is associated with improved clinical outcome, however, discontinuation of statin therapy after onset of symptoms completely abrogates this beneficial effect.

TLDR
Fibrofatty composition and plaque volume decreased significantly following treatment with pitavastatin, which suggests that pitavASTatin might have a higher affinity for fibrofat compared with atorvastatin.
Impact of statin therapy on coronary intervention for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome with decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
TLDR
Statin treatment before PCI in patients with non-ST elevation ACS demonstrated beneficial effects such as less myocardial damage, even though both groups presented with low LDL cholesterol levels, however, no significant effect on MACE was seen at 6 months after PCI.

TLDR
Early aggressive lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin for 6 months significantly reduced the plaque volume in patients with ACS, and Percent change in plaque volume showed a significant positive correlation with percent LDL-C reduction, even in Patients with low baseline cholesterol.

TLDR
Administration of high-dose statin in NSTE ACS patients before PCI was associated with significant reduction of MACE in long-term follow-up, and was observed despite the same therapy given after PCI.
