Article Synopsis
- Statins are commonly used to manage cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease, but can cause side effects like elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels and muscle pain (myopathy).*
-
- A case study highlights a coronary patient whose statin treatment was limited due to high CK levels and muscle issues, which were ultimately linked to an underlying condition (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) rather than the statin itself.*
-
- The findings suggest that ongoing muscle symptoms in patients on statins may need further neurological evaluation to rule out other disorders, and PCSK9 inhibitors can be a safer alternative treatment in such cases.*
