Resumo

  A doença aterosclerótica é a principal causa de morte nos países desenvolvidos e, subjacente à sua patogénese, parece estar uma reacção do vaso a uma qualquer agressão física, química, infecciosa ou imunológica. Seja qual for o factor responsável pela agressão, os mecanismos inflamatórios e imunológicos exercem um papel primordial na ampliação e manutenção do processo aterogénico. De todos os factores de risco conhecidos, o aumento do colesterol sérico, nomeadamente da sua fracção LDL, constitui um dos mais importantes, admitindo alguns autores que muitos dosoutros factores de risco só actuarão quando simultaneamente existir uma hipercolesterolemia. Assim, os fármacos hipocolesterolémicos têm um papel central na prevenção e no tratamento da doença cardiovascular, como atestam diversos ensaios de prevenção primária e secundária. Para além do seu efeito a nível dos lípidos, os diversos hipolipemiantes, particularmente as estatinas e os fibratos, apresentam diversas acções a nível dos mecanismos inflamatórios e imunes que, embora não completamente esclarecidos, se revestem do maior interesse terapêutico. O presente artigo procura fazer uma revisão sobre as acções anti-inflamatórias e imunológicas dos diferentes fármacos hipolipemiantes, particularmente das estatinas, dos fibratos e do probucol.
