Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is a discrepancy between the marked reduction in adverse events with statins and their modest effect on atheroma regression. We hypothesized that, in a Western population, high-dose atorvastatin will result in alterations in coronary atheroma composition, phenotype, and microvascular function. METHODS: Serial coronary radiofrequency intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS), coronary flow reserve...
