LDL - ikke sammenheng med åreforkalkning

[martyy]

Nok en studie som ikke viser sammenheng mellom LDL og åreforkalkning.

Sitat:

Conclusions In patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, combined therapy with ezetimibe and simvastatin did not result in a significant difference in changes in intima–media thickness, as compared with simvastatin alone, despite decreases in levels of LDL cholesterol and C-reactive protein.
