The Experience of Using the Drug Inclusiran in Patients With an Extremely High Risk Of Developing Cardiovascular Complications in The Acute Period of Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Aim To evaluate the effect of intensive lipid-lowering therapy (LLT), including inclisiran prescribed in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), on lipid profile in patients with extremely high risk (EHR) of cardiovascular complications (CVC).Material and methods This prospective single-center clinical study included 20 patients (mean age 58.45±2.43 years, 75% men) with EHR of CVC and STEMI. All patients were prescribed combination LLT, including inclisiran. Lipid profile parameters were assessed 8±1 days after the initiation of therapy. Statistical analysis was performed with a STATISTICA 13.3 software.Results Analysis of the lipid-lowering effect of inclisiran showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol from 5.13±0.29 to 2.81±0.26 mmol/l (45.2%; p<0.001) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from 3.59±0.23 to 1.60±0.23 mmol/l (55.4%; p<0.001).Conclusion The study showed a possibility of achieving statistically and clinically significant reduction in LDL-C in patients with EHR of CVC in the acute period of STEMI with the combination therapy including inclisiran during the inpatient treatment.
