1 대한심장학회춘계학술대회 Satellite Symposium Coronary Plaque Regression and Compositional Changes by Lipid-Lowering Therapy: IVUS Substudy in Livalo (Pitavastatin) in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (LAMIS) Livalo Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (LAMIS) Group : Young Joon Hong, Myung Ho Jeong, Youngkeun Ahn, Tae Hoon Ahn, Jang Ho Bae, Seung Ho Hur, Seung Woon Rha, Kee Sik Kim, In Ho Chae, Jong Hyun Kim, Kyeong Ho Yun, Sang Wook Kim

2 Plaque Regression by Statin Atherosclerosis is usually viewed as a chronic progressive disease characterized by continuous accumulation of atheroma within the arterial wall. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has emerged as the most sensitive and reliable measure of the progression of coronary disease. Prior angiographic and IVUS trials have shown reduced progression of coronary atherosclerosis with statin therapy.

26 Conclusion Plaque Regression by Statin in Native Coronary Artery Both rosuvastatin 20 mg and atorvastatin 40 mg could contribute to the regression in Korean patients t with mild to moderate stenosis.

27 Laboratory Findings vs. Plaque Progression in Patients Who Use Moderate Dose of Statins

28 128 patients t who underwent baseline and followup IVUS (mean 11 months) for non-intervened intermediate t coronary stenosis 66 patients received 20mg/day of rosuvastatin and 62 patients received 40mg/day of atorvastatin from baseline to follow-up. - Plaque volume progression group (n=29): 23% - Plaque volume regression group (n=99): 77%

30 Plaque Progression According to (%) Follow-Up LDL-Cholesterol (17/50) p= Follow-up LDL-cholesterol 70 mg/dl 15 (12/78) Follow-up LDL-cholesterol < 70 mg/dl

32 Plaque Progression According to (%) Baseline hs-crp (6/16) p= (23/112) Baseline hs-crp 1.0 mg/dl Baseline hs-crp < 1.0 mg/dl

33 Plaque Progression According to (%) Follow-Up hs-crp p= (11/30) (18/98) 5 0 Follow-up hs-crp 0.1 mg/dl Follow-up hs-crp < 0.1 mg/dl

34 Conclusion Labroratory Findings vs. Plaque Progression by Statin In patients t who use 20mg/day of rosuvastatin and 40mg/day of atorvastatin, follow-up LDL-C and baseline and follow-up hs-crp are associated with plaque progression.

39 Conclusion - SVG Lumen loss in non-intervened SVG segments correlated with an increase in plaque area and a decrease in SVG area (plaque growth and negative e remodeling) with a linear relationship between plaque growth vs. follow-up LDL-cholesterol leading to long-term lumen loss.

60 Conclusion IVUS Study in LAMIS Usual dose of pitavastatin (2mg/day) decreased LDL-C and CRP levels effectively It had some effect on plaque regression and compositional change in non-culprit, non-intervened segments in AMI patients. With more intensive dose of statin, plaque regression and plaque compositional change probably could be more rapidly achieved.

61 IVUS/VH-IVUS Intensive lipid-lowering therapy Clinical Event

62 Future Perspectives in LAMIS More long-term follow-up data High dose Livalo (4mg) More IVUS and VH-IVUS follow-up data -- Plaque regression -- Plaque compositional change Other imaging i modality: OCT, CT, MR
