Abstract
- Statins use is linked to side effects, notably muscular ones, known as Statin-Associated Muscle Symptoms (SAMS). These can include a pain, an increased sensitivity to palpation, aches, and cramps. SAMS are a real problem in the clinical management of patients, as it is difficult to causally link these complaints with drug use, and they may lead to a reduction in statin intake, or even to the patient -discontinuing their use. The absence of objective markers and the -variety of possible clinical manifestations of these muscular -complaints impede a full understanding of the objective and -subjective impacts of these symptoms on the everyday life of sympto-matic patients. This article assess the current state of knowledge on the impact of SAMS on performance and health--related quality of life.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
