SAŽETAK: Kardiovaskularne (KV) bolesti i dalje su vodeći uzrok morbiditeta i mortaliteta u svijetu i u Sloveniji. Prema preporukama Europskih smjernica za prevenciju kardiovaskularnih bolesti u kliničkoj praksi, smanjenje razine LDL kolesterola primjenom statina ključno je za prevenciju KV događaja. Brojna klinička ispitivanja i godine iskustva dokazuju djelotvornost terapije statinima. Unatoč tomu, oni se još uvijek premalo uporabljuju u kliničkoj praksi ili se primjenjuju u neadekvatnim

... . U tromjesečnome neintervencijskom ispitivanju FROZEN praćena je klinička djelotvornost svih doza Krkina rosuvastatina (Roswera ® ). Rezultati su pokazali da su bolesnici s visokim ili vrlo visokim rizikom od KV događaja nedovoljno liječeni te su imali manje izglede za postizanje ciljnih razina LDL kolesterola nego oni s umjerenim rizikom. Liječenje je ocijenjeno sigurnim i učinkovitim tijekom razdoblja praćenja u bolesnika s umjerenim, visokim i vrlo visokim rizikom od KV-a. SUMMARY: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world and in Slovenia. According to the recommendations of the European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice, reducing LDL-cholesterol levels, especially with statins, is essential for prevention of CV events. A number of clinical studies and years of experience demonstrate the efficacy of statin therapy. Nevertheless, they are still rarely used in clinical practice or are used at insufficient doses. The clinical efficacy of all doses of Krka's rosuvastatin (Roswera ® ) was monitored in FROZEN, a three-month non-interventional study. The results showed that patients at high or very high risk of a cardiovascular event were undertreated and were less likely to reach target LDL-C levels than moderate-risk patients. Treatment was evaluated as safe and effective during the follow-up period in patients at a moderate, high, and very high CV risk.
