Global Burden of Cardiovascular Disease
According to WHO estimates:
• 16.6 million people die of CVD worldwide
each year
• CVD contributed to approximately one third
of global deaths
In 2001:
• 7.2 million deaths from CHD
• 5.5 million deaths from stroke
Adapted from International Cardiovascular Disease Statistics 2003; American Heart Association
Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
• Modifiable • Non-modifiable
– Smoking – Personal history of CHD
– Dyslipidaemia – Family history of CHD
– Age
• raised LDL cholesterol
– Gender
• low HDL cholesterol
• raised triglycerides
– Raised blood pressure
– Diabetes mellitus
– Obesity
– Dietary factors
– Thrombogenic factors
– Lack of exercise
– Excess alcohol consumption

Rosuvastatin
Ezetimibe Pitavastatin
Niacin/Lovastatin
Amlodipine/Atorvastatin
Aspirin/Pravastatin
Cholestyramine
Mechanism of action
Bind bile acids and metabolites of cholesterol in the
intestine through anion exchange
Pharmacodynamics
Moderate reduction in LDL-C levels
- LDL-lowering potential increases when
combined w/ other agents (e.g. statins)
- May raise TG levels in some p’ts
- ↓ LDL-C by 15-30%
- ↑ HDL-C by 3-5%
Adverse effects
GI distress (constipation, bloating) interfere with
absorption of fat-soluble
vitamins triglyceridemia hyperuricemia
Fibrates
Mechanism of action
As ligands for the nuclear transcription receptor, peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-apha (PPAR-α). Increase
lipolysis of lipoprotein triglyceride via LPL.
Pharmacodynamics
Lower TG & raises HDL
- Primarily targets atherogenic dyslipidemia including
diabetic dyslipidemia
- ↓ LDL-C by 5-20% (in non-hypertriglyceridemic individuals)
- ↑ HDL-C by 10-35%; ↓ TG by 20-50%
Adverse effects
GI symptoms, headache, drowsiness, dizziness,
myopathy, gallstone rish , arrhythmias
Nicotinic Acid
Mechanism
Alter lipid levels by inhibiting lipoprotein synthesis &
decreasing the production of VLDL particles by the liver
Pharmacodynamics
Most effective at raising HDL levels of the lipid-
modifying drugs
- ↓ LDL-C by 5-25%
- ↑ HDL-C by 15-35%
- ↓ TG by 20-50%
Adverse effects
Flushing, itching, rash, GI upset
Ezetimibe
Mechanism
Inhibit absorption of cholesterol from intestine.
Pharmacodynamics
A decreased delivery of cholesterol to the liver.
Reduction of hepatic cholesterol stores.
An increased clearance of cholesterol from the blood.
- ↓ total LDL-C ↓ LDL-C
- ↓ TG ↓ Apo-B
- ↑ HDL-C
Adverse effects
headache, Chest pain, arthralgia, GI distress
Statins
Mechanism
Inhibit HMG CoA reductase which is the rate-limiting step
in cholesterol biosynthesis.
Pharmacodynamics
Most effective class of drugs at lowering LDL-C levels
- ↓ LDL-C by 18-55%
- ↑ HDL-C by 5-15%
- ↓ TG by 7-30%
Adverse reactions
myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, elevations of serum

Rosuvastatin Tolerability and Safety
- Liver Effects
Elevations in liver transaminase levels are an infrequent
but recognized complication of treatment with statins
Incidence of clinically significant increases in serum
transaminases* with rosuvastatin 10–40 mg in clinical
trials was low (0.2%) which is similar to that seen with
other currently marketed statins1,2
As with other statins:
– liver function tests recommended
– caution in patients who consume excessive quantities of
alcohol and/or have a history of liver disease
– contraindicated in patients with active liver disease

LDL-C reduction (%)
Persistent elevation is elevation to >3 x ULN on 2 successive occasions
Contraindication:
• Cyclosporin – 7x increase in rosuvastatin AUC
• ANY fibrate with rosuvastatin 40 mg
Rosuvastatin: Limited drug-drug interactions
No clinically significant interactions seen or expected with:
• Fluconazole / Ketoconazole / Itracnoazole
• Fenofibrate
• Digoxin
• Drugs mediated by cytochrome P450 metabolism
Interactions with limited clinical significance:
• Oral contraceptive pill - ↑ ethinyl oestradiol and norgestrel levels
• Antacid - ↓ 50% rosuvastatin levels
• Erythromycin - ↓ 20-30% rosuvastatin plasma levels
• Warfarin – ↑ INR
Interactions resulting in not recommended for use:
• Gemfibrozil – 2x increase in rosuvastatin plasma levels
Interactions resulting in contraindication to concomitant use:
• Cyclosporin – 7x increase in rosuvastatin plasma levels
