In apolipoprotein E−/−and wild‐type mice, BAR502, a dual GPBAR1/FXR agonist, alone or in combination with atorvastatin, reduced cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein plasma levels, mitigated the development of liver steatosis and aortic plaque formation, and shifted the polarization of circulating leukocytes toward an anti‐inflammatory phenotype.

The patient's heart had significant recovery: Echo : Estimated LVEF 32%, apical wall motion abnormality with diastolic distortion (LV aneurysm), suggestive of old MI. If the arrest was caused by acute MI due to plaque rupture, then the diagnosis is MINOCA. A followup ECG was recorded 2 days later: No definite evidence of infarction.

A coronary aneurysm was found. Some of these MIs in young people are due to anomolies: aneurysm from a disorder known to be associated with coronary aneurysms (left out to maintain anonymity) in this case. Nevertheless, even young people have atherosclerosis and plaque rupture. A second troponin returned at 1.71

Repeat CT angio chest (not CT coronary, unclear what protocol) showed possible LAD aneurysm and thrombus. Finally, coronary angiography was performed (at least 5 days after presentation) which confirmed LAD aneurysm with large thrombus burden, TIMI 0 flow, thrombectomy performed. No further cath details available.
