Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 10/21/09
Tziakas DN et al. – The present study showed, that use of statins is associated with a reduction in CEM, an emerging marker of clinical instability and plaque vulnerability in CAD patients. The pleiotropic effects of statins at the cell membrane level represent a promising novel direction for research in CAD.

| We believe that as cholesterol content of erythrocyte membranes is identified as a novel marker for clinical instability in coronary artery disease new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are emerging. Statins, whose prognostic benefit lies well beyond their lipid lowering effect seem a potent canditate that can modulate cholesterol metabolism at the cell membrane level |
