A member asked:
How effective is atorvastatin (lipitor) for treating coronary artery disease (cad)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol: is what the medication addresses. By changing the cholesterol profile inflammation is reduced leading to plaque stabilization. This limits the potential for heart attacks. Atorvastatin and other statins have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and complications. It should be taken by those with cardiovascular risk factors.
