Preface
Statins and Beyond in CVD: From Historical to Clinical perspective
“Medical discoveries don't just happen but result from a hard work of many scientists”
Cholesterol, first discovered in bile and gallstones by Poulletier de la Salle in 1769 and then rediscovered in 1815 by Chevreul, named it “cholesterine” (In Greek: chole for bile and stereos for solid). In 1910, Windaus reported that atherosclerotic plaques from aortas of human subjects contained over 20-fold higher concentrations of cholesterol than did normal aortas. This was the first hint that indicated that cholesterol was related to atherosclerosis. However, despite these findings, physicians remained skeptical of a causal link between cholesterol and coronary artery disease (CAD). They felt that atherosclerotic lesions were an incidental part of the degenerative changes of the arteries.
This sentiment continued until the Framingham Heart Study and the Seven Country Studies in the 1950s demonstrated the correlation between high plasma cholesterol levels and CAD. More investigations established that the association with CAD was attributable mainly to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a type of cholesterol, whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is inversely correlated with coronary heart disease mortality. From this, the “lipid hypothesis” was born, and the cholesterol-coronary connection was unfolded. This proposed that reducing lipid levels would reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and other coronary events.
To search for the lipid lowering drugs, intense efforts were made to determine the mechanism of de novo biosynthesis of cholesterol in human body. Konrad Bloch from Chicago University and Feodor Lynen from Munich University were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964 for their efforts.
Feodor Lynen
Several scientists extensively studied steps of cholesterol synthesis and metabolism pathway. Many molecules homologous to intermediates along the pathway were synthesized. Some molecules were effective in animals, but none of those were effective at the clinical level. Reduction of β-hydroxy β-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate is the major point of cholesterol formation and is catalyzed by an enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase. Scientists opined that the inhibition of this enzyme could be an effective means of lowering plasma cholesterol in humans.

Birth of statins and their vascular potential power
The year 1987 was a pivotal year for statins when lovastatin, a first statin, was marketed in the USA. Later in 1988, simvastatin, a semisynthetic derivative of lovastatin, was marketed in Sweden, and then worldwide. During this time, although, the basic lipid hypothesis had been validated, the movement towards treating hypercholesterolemia with lipid lowering agents was not convincing to a number of clinicians due to lack of sufficient evidences.
The adult treatment panel (ATP), a panel represented by experts from major medical and health professional associations, voluntary health organizations, community programs, and governmental agencies was constituted. The aim of this panel was to develop guidelines for detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood cholesterol in adults. The first ATP guideline, i.e., ATP-I was published in the year 1988 which outlined a strategy for primary prevention of CHD in individuals with high LDL-C (>160 mg/dL) or with borderline-high LDL-C (130–159 mg/dL) including more than two risk factors. These guidelines dispelled unfounded theories and skeptics who did not believe that lowering cholesterol would have mortality benefits. The ATP guidelines are currently the most accepted reference guideline for clinical management of high blood cholesterol. With continual clinical advances in the science of cholesterol management, these guidelines are periodically updated.
In 1994, the findings of Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) marked a turning point in the journey of lipid lowering drugs. This study depicted for the first time that statins not only reduce LDL cholesterol levels but also cause a sharp drop in all-cause mortality, major coronary events and revascularization procedures. The results of this study played a vital role in convincing the medical fraternity about the importance of statins.
Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, the newest members of the statin, are the most commonly prescribed statins, as an adjunct to diet for the treatment of various lipid disorders including primary hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia and isolated hypertriglyceridemia. Today, an estimated 30 million people worldwide are taking statins. It is said that the lives of millions of people have been extended through statin therapy.
In recent years, there has been intense discussion about the possibility that many of the beneficial effects of statins are beyond the reduction of cholesterol. These actions were described as pleiotropic benefits. Some of these effects are improving the function of vascular endothelial cells, enhancing the stability of atherosclerotic plaque, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and causing extrahepatic effects on the immune system, central nervous system, and bones.
Although early statin trials were focused on LDL-cholesterol lowering, in several of the major randomized trials like HPS, PROVE-IT, TNT, A to Z, IDEAL, statins have exerted a favorable effect upon heart failure. All of these trials suggest that a statin, or a high-dose compared to a low-dose statin, will reduce the risk of hospitalizations for heart failure in patients with stable coronary disease or acute coronary syndromes. Statins also appear to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with mild heart failure.
New research even suggests these drugs might treat other conditions, like Alzheimer's disease, and lower your risk of death from cancer. The results are not yet conclusive, and more studies are needed.
The discovery and evolution of statins surely are one of the major medical accomplishments of the last quarter of the 20th century. As the population continues to age, statins will be prescribed more frequently among elderly patients. Polypharmacy and drug interactions will therefore become increasingly important issues. As one of the major pathways for drug detoxification is the cytochrome P450 system in the liver, the ideal statin would have a different metabolic pathway. There are already some statins available and others under development with these properties.
We have made every possible effort to maintain the quality and standard of Advances in Statin Therapy & Beyond in CVD (ASTC). We are sure this book will serve as an important reference guide for postgraduate students, fellows, internists, cardiologists, neurologists, critical care, pulmonologists, pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, imaging experts and nutritionists, etc. Bringing up Advances and Innovations in Statin Therapy was a phenomenal task and requires well-structured team efforts with immense dedication, devotion and coordination.

Preface
Statins represent a group of medications that are widely used throughout the world to lower serum cholesterol levels, especially the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. They do this by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which results in lowered production of cholesterol by liver tissue. Lowering of serum LDL cholesterol levels by statins has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. They have been found useful in both primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
The literature is overflowing with a huge number of publications and clinical trials dealing with statins and their effect on lowering serum cholesterol levels with consequent decrease in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, there is a need to condense this vast literature in a state-of-the-art monograph that would be useful to not only the practicing physicians but also paramedical personnel and medical students. To this end, national and international experts in the field and their colleagues have been engaged to write various chapters and we are most grateful to them for sparing their valuable time to work on this book.
The book is divided into 29 sections with a total of 163 chapters. The first section with 61 chapters deals with clinical aspects and nuances of statin therapy. Guidelines from the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, European Society of Cardiology as well as Indian guidelines are fully covered. Many aspects including patient adherence to statin therapy, clinical comparisons of various statins available in the market, classification of hyperlipidemias, outcome data, familial hypercholesterolemia, management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, pharmacogenomics, morbidity and mortality benefits, statins and angiogenesis, risk factors for dyslipidemia, safety data, statin intolerance and its management and lipid lowering in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are well described. The second section is titled statins and coronary artery disease. It consists of 15 chapters dealing extensively with all aspects of statins and ischemic heart disease. The third, fourth and fifth sections with a total of 10 chapters cover statins and hypertension, statins in heart failure and statins in arrhythmia. The sixth to fourteenth sections have a total of 22 chapters discussing among others the role of statins in aortic disease, other valvular disease, stroke, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease, renovascular disease, diabetes in the young, obesity and kidney disease. Sections 15 through 28 focus on aortic atherosclerosis, nuclear imaging in vascular atherosclerosis, nutrition and dyslipidemia, statins in children, statins and the eye, statins and the skin, statins and pulmonary disorders, cardiovascular disease prevention, systemic inflammatory response, yoga and statin therapy and statins and cardio-oncology. The total number of chapters in these sections total 43. Section 28 titled “Beyond Statins” has 2 chapters and 9 chapters in Section 29 address future directions.
We hope the book will be an excellent resource for everyone in the medical fraternity.

Preface
Squeezing the Plaques
We have been made to believe that most acute coronary events result from the rupture of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques that are minimally obstructive. This notion somehow has been etched in our minds based on old angiographic studies undertaken from many months to years before the index event. However, serial angiographic studies wherein data were available from remote past and also within 3 months of acute event have underscored that minimally stenotic lesions progressed rapidly before the occurrence of acute events. Serial noninvasive computed tomography angiography imaging studies have demonstrated a 35-fold higher likelihood of acute events if there was a plaque progression in 2 studies 1-year apart; the lesions that did not progress voluminously over time rarely led to events regardless of the extent of luminal stenosis or baseline high-risk plaque morphology. The plaque progression has been proposed as a necessary step between early atherosclerosis and plaque rupture. On the other hand, aggressive lipid-lowering could modify this step by preventing plaque progression.
Numerous clinical trials have unequivocally demonstrated the benefits of lipid-lowering therapy with statins in primary and secondary prevention of major adverse cardiac events. The favorable outcomes were associated with substantial reduction in necrotic core and plaque volumes, and increase in fibrous cap thickness of the high-risk atherosclerotic lesions as uniformly reported by invasive and noninvasive imaging studies. The noninvasive plaque characterization by serial CT angiography has demonstrated favorable changes in plaque composition in patients who achieved a >10% reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. In the multinational PARADIGM registry, plaque progression was substantially retarded with statin therapy, including a significant reduction in annualized percent atheroma volume growth with a substantial reduction in number of high-risk plaque features, and increase in plaque calcification—all suggestive of plaque stability; there was no change in the extent of luminal stenosis. A meta-analysis of invasive coronary angiography and IVUS studies has demonstrated an inversely proportional relationship between LDL levels and plaque progression. The plaque progression could be prevented when LDL levels were lowered to 70–80 mg/dL, and plaque regression required even lower LDL levels. The GLAGOV study with serial IVUS in almost 1000 patients randomized to receive either maximized statin treatment or an additional PCSK9 inhibitor with achieved LDL levels of 93 and 37 mg/dL, respectively, showed incremental percent and total atheroma volume reduction with PCSK9 inhibitor confirming prevention of plaque progression or inducing plaque regression.
The PESA study demonstrated that one-half of their 4000 asymptomatic middle-age subjects at low risk of major adverse cardiac events based on traditional risk factors, demonstrated imaging evidence of atherosclerosis in large vessels and/or coronary vasculature. No atherosclerosis was seen in individuals with LDL <60 mg/dL, suggesting it to be the LDL threshold conducive to the development of atherosclerosis. It is logical to attribute the superior results in the CT angiography arm of the SCOT-HEART study to lipid lowering therapy, and it would be interesting to evaluate prospectively a strategy of detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in its early stages to potentially eliminating major adverse cardiac events with statin intervention. The SCOT-HEART 2 trial should help settle the importance of treatment based on CT angiographic identification of subclinical atherosclerosis compared with that based on standard risk factors. We could therefore agree that most acute coronary events result from plaque rupture, which results from plaque progression, and that plaque progression is modifiable. We could also agree that aggressive lipid-lowering therapy would help arrest plaque progression and induce plaque regression.
In our annual offering to you, this year we bring a monograph on Advances in Statin Therapy & Beyond in CVD (ASTC). Per our promise to update you every year with a topic of current interest on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the Cardiological Society of India; this is the fourth in series after Advances in Clinical Cardiovascular Imaging Echocardiography & Intervention (ACCI-EI), Advances & Innovations in Heart Failure (AIHF), and Hypertension: New Frontiers (HNF). We have covered the role of statins in all cardiovascular ailments, from prevention to disease management, and brought you the evolving pharmacological interventions. The most prominent of your colleagues have attempted to put the best evidence together for you under one cover. An attempt to interference with the cholesterol synthesis pathways through statins and bempedoic acid, and blocking PCSK9 from binding to LDL receptor by intercepting with antibodies or nipping them early by intracellular inhibition of the translation of message to proteins, the monograph brings into focus the ultimate importance of LDL receptors. We deliberately tried to stay away from targeting of lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein C and ANGPLT3 pathways for the fear of diluting the strength of our message to focus on the universal role of statins. The new agents targeting the newer signaling routes would form a separate monograph for you in our subsequent offerings. Stay tuned, friends.
