What matters: statin dose rises, adherence falls?(OPINION)Ebbert, Jon O
Currently, there are seven statins approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are classed by their intensity, or their ability to lower LDL cholesterol. Some statins fall into more than one category, depending on the dose, according to the 2018 cholesterol management guideli...
More recent trials, however, have compared low-dose with high-dose statin therapy in individuals with CHD and found high-dose statin therapy to confer more benefits. Is there, then, still a role for low-dose statin therapy? This article summarizes statin clinical trials and focuses on the ...
Additionally, the CAC score is used to reclassify CV risk in other subgroups and to aid in developing primary prevention decisions such as statin therapy [19]. More recently, CT calcium scoring has become fundamental also in other clinical settings, such as allowing flow-independent assessments of...

This is mainly due to the strong influence of spatial variations in coil sensitivity on relative signal intensity, as well as the specific choice of MR sequence parameters. Therefore, the quantification of T1 and T2(*) relaxation time constants of tissue on a voxel-wise basis—as quantitative ...
