Effects of statin use on serum creatinine phosphokinase levels in normal thyroid function
Jeonghoon Ha, Joonyub Lee, Jin Yu, Hakyoung Park, Jiwon Shinn, Seung-Hwan Lee, Jae-Hyoung Cho, Hun-Sung Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2024;39(4):650-658. Published online June 24, 2024
Background/Aims: Statins are common lipid-lowering agents used in dyslipidemia. However, they increase serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels. Currently, there are no studies on the effect of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on CPK levels after statin administration. Therefore, this stu..

Expanding the therapeutic landscape: ezetimibe as non-statin therapy for dyslipidemia
Jeongmin Lee, Seung-Hwan Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2023;38(6):797-809. Published online October 20, 2023
Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and statins are the primary therapeutic options for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. However, it can be challenging to achieve optimal LDL-C goals with statin monotherapy. Ezetim..

Reference diameter and characteristics of the distal radial artery based on ultrasonographic assessment
Jun-Won Lee, Jung-Woo Son, Tae-Hwa Go, Dae Ryong Kang, Sang Jun Lee, Se Eun Kim, Dong-Hyuk Cho, Young Jun Park, Young Jin Youn, Min-Soo Ahn, Sung Gyun Ahn, Jang-Young Kim, Byung-Su Yoo, Junghan Yoon, Seung-Hwan Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2022;37(1):109-118. Published online December 29, 2021
Background/Aims: While distal radial artery (DRA) access is increasingly being used for diagnostic coronary angiography, limited information is available regarding DRA size. We aimed to determine the DRA reference diameters of Korean patients and identify the predictors of DRA diameter < 2.3 mm.

Feasibility of primary percutaneous coronary intervention via the distal radial approach in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Yongcheol Kim, Jun-Won Lee, Sang Yeub Lee, Jang-Whan Bae, Sang Jun Lee, Myung Ho Jeong, Seung-Hwan Lee, Youngkeun Ahn
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(Suppl 1):S53-S61. Published online March 3, 2020
Background/Aims: Recently, distal radial approach (DRA), called as snuffbox approach, has gained the interest of interventional cardiologists, but there is a lack of data about the feasibility of DRA as an alternative route for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 1..

A pharmacodynamic study of the optimal P2Y12 inhibitor regimen for East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome
Ji Hyun Lee, Sung Gyun Ahn, Bonil Park, Sang Wook Park, Yong Seok Kang, Jun-Won Lee, Young Jin Youn, Min-Soo Ahn, Jang-Young Kim, Byung-Su Yoo, Seung-Hwan Lee, Junghan Yoon
Korean J Intern Med. 2015;30(5):620-628. Published online August 27, 2015
Background/Aims: Newer P2Y12 inhibitors, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, have greater antiplatelet efficacy but may increase the risk of bleeding. In this study, we compared the pharmacodynamic efficacy of prasugrel and ticagrelor in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS..
