Statin dose reduction with complementary diet therapy: A pilot study of personalized medicine

Conclusions Although limited by the small sample size, our study demonstrates the potential for a new therapeutic approach combining lower statin dose and specific dietary compounds. Further studies should elucidate “good responders” profile as a tool for personalized medicine. This may be particularly helpful in the many patients with or at risk for CVD who cannot tolerate high dose statin therapy. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02732223.
