Cleveland, OH - Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who reduce LDL cholesterol to very low levels and achieve a normal systolic blood pressure have the slowest progression of coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), a new study has shown [1]. The findings, according to investigators, support the need for intensive management of global risk in patients with CAD.
