Abstract

Very high cardiovascular risk dyslipidemia requires effective and safe strategies for intensive LDL-C reduction. This integrative review analyzed studies published between 2015 and 2025 on the combination of rosuvastatin and ezetimibe in high cardiovascular risk contexts. The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, LILACS, and ScienceDirect databases. The combination demonstrated an additional LDL-C reduction of up to 25% compared to monotherapy, with a favorable safety profile and improved adherence, especially in fixed-dose formulations. Consistent results were observed in subgroups such as diabetic patients, the elderly, and those with coronary artery disease. The main limitations included short follow-up periods and a lack of comparative studies with newer lipid-lowering therapies. It is concluded that the rosuvastatin/ezetimibe combination is an effective, safe, and applicable therapeutic alternative for very high-risk populations and should be considered a first-line option in intensive cardiovascular prevention settings.
