Riesgo de interacciones farmacológicas por la coadministración de estatinas con fármacos metabolizados por la isoenzima 3A4 del citocromo P450: estudio epidemiológico, transversal y multicéntrico
Resumen Fundamento y objetivo Las estatinas son farmacos seguros, pero con un elevado riesgo de interacciones farmacologicas. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de interacciones potenciales en la isoenzima 3A4 del citocromo P450 (CYP3A4), en una amplia muestra de pacientes tratados con estatinas, y determinar los factores asociados, tanto del paciente como del medico prescriptor. Pacientes y metodo Estudio observacional, transversal, de base poblacional. Fueron seleccionados 7.880 sujetos en tratamiento con estatinas. Se recogieron datos referentes a los pacientes y a los 1.681 medicos participantes. Resultados Un 59% de los pacientes recibia estatinas metabolizadas por el C…
Indications of PCSK9 inhibitors in clinical practice. Recommendations of the Spanish Society of Arteriosclerosis (SEA), 2019
A group of experts convened by the Spanish Society of Arteriosclerosis (SEA) has been in charge of updating the SEA document on the indications of PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) in clinical practice that was published in 2016. This update is justified by the fact that the data from clinical trials carried out on a large scale with PCSK9i have shown that in addition to their high potency to lower atherogenic cholesterol, they reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, both in patients with stable disease, and with recent disease, and with a high degree of security. This update provides the recommendations and level of evidence for the prescription of iPCSK9 in patients with homozy…
Estándares SEA 2019 para el control global del riesgo cardiovascular
One of the main goals of the Spanish Society of Arteriosclerosis is to contribute to a wider and greater knowledge of vascular disease, its prevention and treatment. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in our country and also lead to a high degree of disability and health expenditure. Arteriosclerosis is a multifactorial disease, this is why its prevention requires a global approach that takes into account the different risk factors with which it is associated. Thus, this document summarizes the current level of knowledge and integrates recommendations and procedures to be followed for patients with established cardiovascular disease or high vascular risk. Specifically, t…
Arteriopatía de las extremidades inferiores y estenosis de las arterias renales
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to the atherosclerotic involvement of non-coronary and extracranial arteries, including visceral arteries, the aorta and its branches and the arteries of the limbs. PAD usually refers exclusively to atherosclerosis of the limbs (in particular the lower limbs). Age, male sex, smoking and diabetes, as well as hypertension and dyslipidemia, are the most relevant risk factors for the development of PAD. PAD is frequently associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. PAD patients have increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications (coronary disease, stroke) and total and cardiovascular mortality, even after adjustment by conventional risk …
