It aims to identify the main symptoms, evaluate risk factors, mechanism of action and especially explore alternative treatments, including the association of statins with vitamin D. The methodology involved a descriptive and qualitative literature review focusing on databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar and PubMed, from 1996 to 2024.
