Statin-associated muscle symptoms: impact on statin therapy—European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel Statement on Assessment, Aetiology and Management

TL;DR: The Panel proposes to identify SAMS by symptoms typical of statin myalgia and their temporal association with discontinuation and response to repetitive statin re-challenge, and recommends the use of a maximally tolerated statin dose combined with non-statin lipid-lowering therapies to attain recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statin-associated myopathy with normal creatine kinase levels.

TL;DR: It appears that muscle symptoms of some patients receiving statin therapy might represent a muscle toxicity below the threshold needed to increase creatine kinase levels, which could rule out statin-associated myopathy in patients with muscle symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic risk factors associated with lipid‐lowering drug‐induced myopathies

TL;DR: A higher prevalence of underlying metabolic muscle diseases than expected in the general population is reported and the effect of statins on energy metabolism combined with a genetic susceptibility to triggering of muscle symptoms may account for myopathic outcomes in certain high‐risk groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adverse effects of statin therapy: perception vs. the evidence - focus on glucose homeostasis, cognitive, renal and hepatic function, haemorrhagic stroke and cataract

TL;DR: Long-term statin treatment is remarkably safe with a low risk of clinically relevant adverse effects as defined above, and the established cardiovascular benefits of statin therapy far outweigh the risk of adverse effects.
