Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

1,6 Until recently atherosclerosis has been thought of as the result of passive lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. However, the development of atherosclerosis is now known to be much more complex, with a key role for immune cells and inflammation in conjunction with hyperlipidemia and elevated LDL levels.7
