Filter by:In many large trials, reducing low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels with rosuvastatin decreased the incidence of major cardiovascular events,but little attention to the effects of rosuvastatin on HDL level,especially on HDL subtype. Epidemiological evidence strongly favors the notion that the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is inversely related to the plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration. HDL can be subdivided into large-sized (HDL2a, HDL2b) and small-sized subclasses (preb1-HDL, HDL3c, HDL3b, HDL3a) and preb2-HDL. Some studies indicate that only large HDL2a and HDL2b particles make HDLs possess anti-atherogenic functions. The investigators assume that rosuvastatin could play the role of anti-atherosclerosis though the levels of HDL2a、HDL2b increased.
