Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of early combination with PCSK 9 on the lipid profile and prognosis in elderly patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Methods A total of 214 elderly patients with NSTE-ACS who received PCI with substandard low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) control in People's Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected and divided into control group (n=158) and evolocumab group (n=56). The control group was treated with moderate-intensity statin therapy, and the evolocumab group was treated with the combination of evolocumab (140 mg subcutaneously every two weeks) on the basis of the control group. Baseline data of patients in the two groups were collected and the change levels of LDL-C, TC, HDL-C, TG were observed at 1 and 6 months of treatment, adverse cardiovascular events at 6 months (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, hospitalization due to unstable angina, unplanned revascularization) and adverse reactions were recorded.Results There was no difference between the two groups at baseline (P>0.05). At 6 months of treatment, LDL-C, TC levels were significantly lower in the evolocumab group compared with the control group (P<0.001), and the LDL-C <1.8 mmol/L compliance rate of the evolocumab group was higher than that of the control group (92.9% vs. 35.4%, P<0.001), with LDL-C <1.4 mmol/L (87.5% vs. 10.1%, P<0.001). There was no difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Early co-administration of evolocumab on the basis of moderate-intensity statin therapy after PCI in elderly patients with NSTE-ACS resulted in rapid achievement of LDL-C target values and was well tolerated by patients with high safety of use.
