Summary

This study looks at how a short course of high-dose statins affects fatty buildup (plaque) in the heart arteries of people with mild heart disease. Researchers will use advanced CT scans to measure changes in plaque size and type over 3 months, and then check if those changes last after stopping the drug. The goal is to understand who benefits most from statins and why.
