Pleiotropic effects of ezetimibe
https://doi.org/10.18087/cardio.n875
Abstract
The article discusses in detail the question of the additional positive effects of ezetimibe in addition to direct hypolipidemic action. The data of experimental and clinical studies in which the effect of ezetimibe on carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and liver is studied. The article also discusses the results of clinical studies that examined the effect of ezetimibe on atherosclerotic plaque.
