RESUMO
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of statin response on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS: A total of 1029 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients were enrolled in the study. The patients who failed to achieve >40% reduction in baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels within 30 days to 12 months after statin initiation were defined as suboptimal statin responders. The adjusted hazard ratios for cardiovascular outcomes for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol response to statins were estimated via the Cox proportional regression model. The relationship between the statin response and cardiovascular outcomes was also evaluated in a subgroup of on-treatment low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels below 55 mg/dL. RESULTS: Among the study population, 573 (55.6%) patients demonstrated suboptimal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol response to statin therapy. These patients showed a significantly higher incidence of the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, reinfarction, recurrent myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization during the follow-up compared with optimal responders (adjusted hazard ratios 3.99; 95%CI 2.66–6.01; p<0.001). In a subgroup of patients with on-treatment low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels below 55 mg/dL, suboptimal statin responders also showed unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes (adjusted hazard ratios 8.73; 95%CI 2.81–27.1; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that over half of the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction did not exhibit optimal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol response to statin. These patients have an increased risk of future major adverse cardiovascular events.
