STATINS AND MYOPATHY: MOLECULAR MECHANISMS
https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2012-8-3-469-473
Abstract
The safety of statin therapy is considered. In particular the reasons of a complication such as myopathy are discussed in detail. The molecular mechanisms of statin myopathy , as well as its risk factors are presented. The role of coenzyme Q10 in the myopathy development and coenzyme Q10 application for the prevention of this complication are considered.
