Early changes in arterial structure and function following statin initiation: quantification by magnetic resonance imaging.

Early changes in arterial structure and function following statin initiation: quantification by magnetic resonance imaging.

Effective LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction improves vascular function and can bring about regression of atherosclerosis. Alterations in endothelial function can occur rapidly, but changes in atherosclerosis are generally considered to occur more slowly. Vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is...
