Effect of new statin treatment on carotid artery intima-media thickness: A real-life observational study over 10 years

Randomized clinical trials (RCT) have shown statin treatment to slow down the increase in carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) seen with ageing. However, those RCTs usually have a limited follow-up (1-3 years). Here an observational study was used to investigate the real-life effect of new statin treatment over a 10-year follow-up.
