Presentation
We present three cases of statin-induced musculoskeletal symptoms which presented to an orthopaedic department. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
These data, coupled with the patient findings, indicate a possible association between statin treatment, decreased ubiquinone status, and loss of complex IV activity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this trial, early treatment with atorvastatin 80 mg/d reduced recurrent ischemic events over a 16-week treatment period among patients with unstable angina or non–Q-wave acute MI. [jama.ama-assn.org]
Prognosis
Statins have been demonstrated to significantly affect the prognosis and outcome of patients with risk factors to atherosclerosis (in primary and secondary prevention trials). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The clinical prognosis of FH heterozygotes is related not only to the magnitude of the elevation in plasma LDL-C but also to the presence of other coronary risk factors ( 5 ). New insights into pathogenesis. [doi.org]
Etiology
Its insidence remains high and the management has not been established yet because its etiology and pathophysiological are still poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiologic role of statins in the risk of MM, however, is not well understood. [bloodjournal.org]
