Abstract 226: Effect of Ezetimibe Added to High-intensity Statin Therapy in Patients With Hypercholesterolemia: A Meta-Analysis [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: Among patients with hypercholesterolemia, adding ezetimibe to high-intensity statin led to a mild but significant additional reduction in LDL-C levels compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy. Whether this mild further lowering of LDL-C levels achieved with the addition of ezetimibe to high-intensity statin would lead to a benefit in clinical outcomes needs further investigation.
