RESUMEN
La hiperlipidemia es la principal causa de ateroesclerosis y ésta la principal etiología de la cardiopatía isquémica. Las estatinas son el recurso más utilizado para la reducción de las concentraciones sanguíneas de lípidos, en especial de lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL). Actualmente se ha incorporado otro recurso farmacológico formado por un grupo de fármacos, entre los que figuran la ezetimiba, que inhiben de manera preferencial la absorción intestinal de colesterol. Por esta razón, la administración conjunta de estatinas y ezetimiba adquiere un carácter lógico en la prevención de la cardiopatía isquémica.
