Abstract

Statins are related to the most effective lipid-lowering drugs but the use of them can be associated with side effects including statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS). New experimental data have revealed additional and probably underestimated consequences of SAMS including the possibility of damage not only to skeletal muscles but also to the myocardium. Accordingly the patients receiving statins and having SAMS with subclinical damage of the heart muscle can be identified in clinical practice. These patients need a close attention of cardiologists for the assessment of their prognosis and therapy modification. Genotyping can have a high potential to identify a group of patients with a high probability of cardiac myopathic disorders. The risk of SAMS with subclinical myocardial injury confirmed by pharmacogenetic methods can be a promising criterion for personalized approaches to the treatment of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

This review presents 1) the assessment of the epidemiological scale, clinical and biochemical markers of SAMP, 2) literature sources confirming the possibility of cardiac damage in conditions of SAMS, 3) analysis of the potential of pharmacogenetics to identify individuals with a predisposition to muscle disorders.
