Resumo
Este artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise para comparar a eficácia e segurança do ácido bempedoico às estatinas no tratamento da dislipidemia. A metodologia seguiu as diretrizes PRISMA, utilizando as bases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library e Scopus, com os termos “bempedoic acid”, “statins”, “cardiovascular events”, “mortality” e “adverse events”. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados até 1º de janeiro de 2025. Os resultados evidenciaram que o ácido bempedoico não apresentou superioridade às estatinas na redução de eventos cardiovasculares e mortalidade, embora tenha demonstrado menor ocorrência de eventos adversos. Conclui-se que o ácido bempedoico é uma alternativa viável para pacientes intolerantes às estatinas, mas estudos futuros são necessários para elucidar seu impacto na redução do risco cardiovascular.
