Treatment of a high cardiovascular risk patient with McArdle's disease with PCSK9 inhibitors.
Clínica e Investigación en Arteriosclerosis 2019 March
A 60-year-old male with familial combined hyperlipidemia, ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Since childhood, intolerance to intense exercise. The patient was diagnosed of McArdle's disease after an episode of rhabdomyolysis associated with statins as treatment after a myocardial infarction. Since then, he had been treated with diet, fibrates and ezetimibe with good tolerance, despite this, LDL cholesterol (cLDL) remained >180mg/dl. He started to be treated with alirocumab 150mg/sc every 14 days, with excellent clinical response and a decrease in cLDL to 15mg/dl. Our case shows that PCSK9 inhibitors are effective and safe in patients with muscle diseases who have statin contraindication, and they are a good therapeutic tool for these patients.
