(4/4, Miller) reports, "Aggressive lipid therapy with statins can
significantly reduce the lipid content of atherosclerotic plaques in the
span of a few weeks, a small imaging study suggests." These "findings,
say researchers, imply that statins may be able to stabilize plaques
and prevent the need for secondary interventions in 'staged' PCI
patients." The research was presented at the American College of
Cardiology meeting.
