Two drugs beat one in fight against dangerous cholesterol
NCT ID NCT05761444
Summary
This study tested if starting two cholesterol-lowering drugs together works better than one for people at very high risk of heart attack or stroke. It compared the combination of ezetimibe and atorvastatin against atorvastatin alone in 137 patients. The main goal was to see which treatment lowered 'bad' LDL cholesterol more effectively over 6 and 12 weeks.
