Does "LDL hypothesis" also apply to patients with diabetes?

The basic symptom of diabetes mellitus is hyperglycemia. However the increased cardiovascular risk in patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus has a multifactorial etiology. Concurrent negative effects of hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia on the vascular system reinforce one another. Consistent prevention of cardiovascular risk parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2T) has brought significant decline in mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular diseases. Still there is "residual risk" remaining. The full use of the potential of statins and their combination with ezetimibe may lower the CV risk even more and extend the life of patients with DM2. The importance of an intervention by means of PCSK9 inhibitors for the cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with diabetes mellitus is the subject of study.

Keywords: diabetes mellitus; ezetimibe; PCSK9 inhibitors; cardiovascular risk; LDL-cholesterol; statins
