Abstract:
The massive researches confirmed intensive lipid-lowering therapy can block or reverse the progress of atherosclerosis.At present it has been believed that the term of intensive therapy should remain at least for 2 years in the patients with acute coronary syndrome.Significant reduction in the cholesterol is also essential for the patients with stable coronary heart disease.It should be realized that markedly lowering the cholesterol has latent damage and limitation.Lower lipid level does not mean better status.The adverse effects are also need to be monitored simultaneously.
