简要总结
In ASCVD patients complicated with subclinical hypothyroidism, the percentage of those who did not reach the target of lipid-lowering therapy (LDL-C>1.8mmol/L) is usually higher than that in population with normal thyroid function. The present study aims to randomly compare two lipid-lowering therapeutic strategies (statins only vs. statins combined with thyroid hormone supplement).

入选标准
- •Male or non-pregnant female;
- •Stable or unstable angina with evidence of myocardial ischemia; coronary angiography reveals stenosis lesions;
- •Subclinical hypothyroidism defined as mild TSH elevation within 5-10mIU/L and normal serum thyroid hormone levels within reference ranges;
- •Level of LDL-C is more than 1.8mmol/L before randomization.
- •Participate in the trial voluntarily and signs the written informed consent form.
排除标准
- •Those who have participated in other drug or therapy equipment clinical trials but did not reach the main study endpoint time limit;
- •Symptoms of severe heart failure (NYHA Class III and above) or left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% (ultrasound or left ventricle ngiography);
- •Pregnant or lactating women;
- •Complicated with severe organ dysfunction: large number of pericardial effusion; acute myocardial infarction; acute myocarditis; acute left heart failure; cardiogenic shock; severe arrhythmia, such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, frequent atrial / ventricular premature beat, poor control of fast ventricular fibrillation, and bradycardia requiring pacemaker therapy, etc.
- •Patients who are unable to withstand lipid-lowering therapy or thyroid hormone replacement due to allergy to statins or levothyroxine;
- •Serum AST/ALT is three times higher than the upper limits of normal.
- •Patient's life expectancy is less than 12 months;
- •Those waiting for heart transplantation;
- •Patients who are deemed by the researchers to have low compliance and unable to abide by the requirements and complete the study.
研究组 & 干预措施
Pivastatin and placebo
After randomization, patients in Pivastatin + placebo group will receive pitavastatin and placebo.
干预措施: Pitavastatin and placebo (Drug)
Pivastatin and LT-4
After randomization, patients in combination group will receive pitavastatin as the lipid-lowering therapy and take levothyroxine as the thyroid hormone supplement.
干预措施: Pitavastatin and levothyroxine (Drug)
