First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at whether moderate-dose statins can lower bad cholesterol as effectively as high-dose statins in people who recently had a heart attack or unstable angina. 190 adults were randomly assigned to one of two statin strengths and followed for 3 months. The goal was to see if a lower dose could achieve the same cholesterol reduction with fewer side effects like muscle pain or liver problems.
