| Abstract: | The discovery of statins has led to significant progress in both primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. Although the angiographic changes following statin therapy were modest, the clinical benefits associated with therapy were significant. Numerous clinical trials have correlated the reduction in blood cholesterol induced by these compounds by reducing the number of major coronary events as well as reducing overall mortality in coronary patients |
