摘要
The effect of sustained-release bezafibrate (400 mg in the evening) on blood lipids and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] during 42 weeks of therapy was investigated in 70 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) types IIa, IIb, and IV. Cholesterol decreased by 12% (HLP type IIa) and by 18% (HLP type IIb), respectively. In HLP type IV triglycerides fell by 27%. Lp(a) was reduced significantly (26%) by long-term therapy with sustained-release bezafibrate. Elevated Lp(a) concentrations above 30 mg/dl were reduced by 39%. The long-term effects of sustained-release bezafibrate on Lp(a) were best in patients with high baseline Lp(a) values and were independent of sex and HLP type.
