Does a statin drug help with plaque regression and if not what does?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
there are some studies to show plaque regression these are usually involving Staten doses that are significantly high. As far as an other advantage of statins they have an anti-inflammatory effect on the lining of the arteries. In addition we all know that by lowering cholesterol with a Staten significantly reduces events such as heart attacks and strokes.
