Heart attack recovery: could a lower dose cholesterol pill work just as well?
NCT ID NCT06782243
Summary
This study tested whether a moderate dose of cholesterol-lowering medication (statins) works as well as a high dose for people recovering from a heart attack. Researchers wanted to see if the lower dose could achieve the same cholesterol-lowering goal while possibly causing fewer side effects. They randomly assigned 190 patients to receive either high or moderate intensity statin treatment for three months and measured their cholesterol levels and side effects.
