The Vytorin on Carotid–Media Thickness and Overall Arterial Rigidity (VYCTOR) study
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy , 09/24/09
Farmer J – Alteration of arterial stiffness was also analyzed. Significant reductions in carotid intimal thickness and LDL–cholesterol levels (60%) were acheived with aggressive lipid–lowering therapy. The VYCTOR study did not reveal significant differences in C–reactive protein, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure or BMI between groups.
