Moderate intensity statin therapy plus ezetimibe was equally effective as high-intensity statins in preventing adverse CV events in PCI patients.

They all had high LDL levels despite taking medications including high-intensity statins. Now, researchers tested a new drug called obicetrapib with ezetimibe, another drug that is already approved.

High doses of statins are known as "high-intensity" statins and moderately high doses are known as "moderate intensity" or "medium-intensity" statins.

Initiation of high-intensity statin therapy during the acute phase of minor, noncardiogenic stroke may increase bleeding risk, according to the results of a Chinese cohort study published in the ...
