摘要: Abstract We have demonstrated previously in a subset of Monitored Atherosclerosis Regression Study (MARS) subjects with hypercholesterolemia (190 to 295 mg/dL) and documented coronary artery disease that lovastatin significantly reduces cholesterol-rich lipoprotein B (LpB) but has little effect on complex, triglyceride-rich apolipoprotein (apo) B–containing LpBc (the sum LpB:C, LpB:C:E LpA-II:B:C:D:E) particles defined by their composition. This differential apoB-containing families offered the opportunity determine same MARS independent relationship LpB progression disease. Subjects randomized either (40 mg twice daily) or matching placebo were evaluated angiography before randomization after 2 years treatment, overall status was judged global change score. In lovastatin-treated group, there 22 nonprogre...
