Can aggressive meds shrink hidden plaque in women's arteries?
NCT ID NCT05035056
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 191 women with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (plaque that doesn't block arteries). Researchers used CT scans to measure whether intensive medical therapy (like statins and blood pressure drugs) reduced plaque more than usual care. The goal was to see if better plaque control also improves symptoms like chest pain. The study is complete and aims to understand how intensive treatment helps women with this condition.
