Background Both lipid-modifying therapy and antioxidant vitaminsare thought to have benefit in patients with coronary disease.We studied simvastatin–niacin and antioxidant-vitamintherapy, alone and together, for cardiovascular protection inpatients with coronary disease and low plasma levels of high-densitylipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Methods In a three-year, double-blind trial, 160 patients withcoronary disease, low HDL cholesterol levels, and normal low-densitylipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were randomly assignedto receive one of four regimens: simvastatin plus niacin, antioxidants,simvastatin–niacin plus antioxidants, or placebos. Theend points were arteriographic evidence of a change in coronarystenosis and the occurrence of a first cardiovascular event(death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or revascularization).
Results The mean levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol were unalteredin the antioxidant group and the placebo group; these levelschanged substantially (by –42 percent and +26 percent,respectively) in the simvastatin–niacin group. The protectiveincrease in HDL2 with simvastatin plus niacin was attenuatedby concurrent therapy with antioxidants. The average stenosisprogressed by 3.9 percent with placebos, 1.8 percent with antioxidants(P=0.16 for the comparison with the placebo group), and 0.7percent with simvastatin–niacin plus antioxidants (P=0.004)and regressed by 0.4 percent with simvastatin–niacin alone(P<0.001). The frequency of the clinical end point was 24percent with placebos, 3 percent with simvastatin–niacinalone, 21 percent in the antioxidant-therapy group, and 14 percentin the group given simvastatin–niacin plus antioxidants.
Conclusions Simvastatin plus niacin provides marked clinicaland angiographically measurable benefits in patients with coronarydisease and low HDL levels. The use of antioxidant vitaminsin this setting must be questioned.
