| Pitavastatin | Drug | First phase (6 months): Patients will be randomized 1:1 into 2 groups:
In the group of Pitavastatin: Pitavastatin at visit 0 will be prescribed at a dose of 2 mg, after 1 month in the absence of side effects against the background of ongoing therapy, the dose will be increased to 4 mg. The lipid profile and safety of the therapy will be assessed in 1, 3 and 6 months after the start of the therapy. When triglyceride levels rise above 5.7 mmol/l in two consecutive analyzes, the addition of fenofibrate may be considered. Second phase (6 months): If the target level of LDL-C is not achieved during monotherapy with pitavastatin, the patient will be asked to continue treatment with combined lipid-lowering therapy (pitavastatin + PCSK9 inhibitor). There will be visits on the 7th, 9th and 12th months. |
