Relationship of Oxidized Phospholipids on Apolipoprotein B-100 to Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Treated With Intensive Versus Moderate Atorvastatin Therapy The TNT Trial
ConclusionsElevated OxPL-apoB levels predict secondary MACE in patients with stable CHD, a risk that is mitigated by atorvastatin 80 mg. (A Study to Determine the Degree of Additional Reduction in CV Risk in Lowering LDL Below Minimum Target Levels [TNT]; NCT00327691)

Strategies of Clopidogrel Load and Atorvastatin Reload to Prevent Ischemic Cerebral Events in Patients Undergoing Protected Carotid Stenting: Results of the Randomized ARMYDA-9 CAROTID (Clopidogrel and Atorvastatin Treatment During Carotid Artery Stenting) Study
Conclusions: In patients undergoing carotid stenting, a strategy using both a 600-mg clopidogrel load and a short-term reload with high-dose atorvastatin protects against early ischemic cerebral events. These results, obtained along with routine mechanical neuroprotection, provide new evidence of the optimization of drug therapy before percutaneous carotid intervention.
