Heart plaque mystery: even strong drugs Can't stop it in some patients
NCT ID NCT06936111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some people with coronary heart disease continue to have plaque buildup in their arteries even when they are on strong cholesterol-lowering medication. Researchers will follow 900 adults who have already had a heart procedure to see if leftover cholesterol or inflammation is the cause. The goal is to better understand these risks, not to test a new treatment.
