Abstract
A condition of lipoprotein metabolism, hyperlipidaemia encompasses many disorders, including hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolaemia. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently said that by 2020, Indians will account for 60% of cardiovascular cases. The care of vascular disorders now includes the use of statins to treat hyperlipidaemia. The last five years have seen a significant expansion in statin indications due to the release of numerous multicenter prospective trials. The Indian market offers a variety of statins, including rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, pitavastatin, fluvastatin, and cerivastatin. Statins have a hypolipidemic impact because they inhibit hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA), and they lower LDL-C because they increase LDL receptor activation. This study's goal is to assess andThe World Health Organisation (WHO) recently said that by 2020, Indians will account for 60% of cardiovascular cases. The care of vascular disorders now includes the use of statins to treat hyperlipidaemia.
