https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Glycyrrhizic-Acid.html In the TOHO Lipid Intervention Trial Using Pitavastatin (TOHO-LIP), a multicenter randomized controlled trial, pitavastatin significantly reduced cardiovascular (CV) events compared to atorvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia. To investigate the mechanism by which pitavastatin preferentially prevents CV events, we investigated the relationship between CV events and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) using the TOHO-LIP database. For the subgroup analysis, we selected patients from a single center, Toho University Sakura Medical Center. After excluding those who had CV events at baseline or during the first year, 254 patients were enrolled. The primary end point was the same as that of TOHO-LIP, and three-point major cardiac adverse events (3P-MACE) was added as secondary end point. The cumulative 5-year incidence of 3P-MACE (pitavastatin 1.6%, atorvastatin 6.1%, P=0.038) was significantly lower in pitavastatin group (2 mg/day) than in atorvastatin group (10 mg/day). CAVI significantly decreased only in pitavastatin group during the first year (9.50-9.34, P=0.042), while the change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) did not differ between the two groups. The change in CAVI during the first year positively correlated with 3P-MACE and tended to be an independent predictor of 3P-MACE in Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 1.736; P=0.079). The annual change in CAVI throughout the observation period was significantly higher in subjects with CV events compared to those without. In this subgroup analysis, the reduction in CV events tended to be associated with the CAVI-lowering effect of pitavastatin, which was independent of the LDL-C-lowering effect. In this subgroup analysis, the reduction in CV events tended to be associated with the CAVI-lowering effect of pitavastatin, which was independent of the LDL-C-lowering effect.
