Abstract
Background: Statins clearly confer substantial benefit in people with established cardiovascular (CV) disease (secondary prevention). The effectiveness of various statin drugs in hyperlipidaemic patients is evaluated in the present study. Aim: This work was undertaken to assess the effective role of statin in hyperlipidaemic patients with cardiovascular disease and comparison was made between various classes of statin drugs. Settings and Design: The study population contained 50 subjects with hyperlipidaemia and they were administered with statin class of drugs. Results: The administration of Rosuvastatin and Atrovastatin was found to be more effective in the treatment of hyperlipidaemic patients than that of Simvastatin and Pravastatin. Although flavostatin also had a profound effect, the dosage was high compared to other statins. Hence its effectiveness compared to Rosuvastatin and Atrovastatin need to be further investigated. Conclusions: Rosuvastatin and Atrovastatin can be more effective in reducing hyperlipidemia compared to other classes of statin drugs and thus further reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in such patients.In addition to that,Rosuvasatin had less side effects in patients as compared to atrovastatin and can be defined as the most effective among the statin class of drugs.
